It has so much potential.

2017 Will Be My Year And Here's Why
Irregardless

2016 was great and all, but I'm sure 2017 will be even better. Here's the resolutions I will achieve:

1. Become a healthier me.

It's time to finally feel healthy and get back to where I need to be. Eating better and exercising more to achieve those pesky goals I have had for myself for years now. It's also about becoming more mentally healthy. Sleeping better to improve my attitude during the day. Not thinking about negative thoughts and becoming more positive about life. Setting short term goals to better reach my long term goals to inspire motivation and determination instead of defeat and fears of failure. This is the year I will improve myself in all aspects.

2. Try something new.

Whether it be something big like trying out a new job or something small in regards to maybe trying out a new recipe. Doesn't matter. Just try to get out there and try something out of the box that I don't normally do. Need to become comfortable with the concept of being uncomfortable. With graduation happening for a lot of us, it's time to move forward from school and try something new.

3. Don't dwell on the past.

It's in the past for a reason. It's time to move forward and think about the present and what my future holds for me. Dwelling on the past will never improve anything.

4. Spend more time with family and friends.

As I get older, I start to realize that friendships don't last forever. Some will go away because of lack of communication. It's time to rekindle those relationships. Spend more time with my family instead of wanting to be alone.

5. Become the best version of myself.

I can do great things. I have the capability of doing a lot if I only set my mind into doing it.

There are countless upon countless goals I can set for myself, but these are the big ones for 2017.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
