24 Things Everyone Needs To Remember

People, as a whole, can be destructive. It's pretty clear to see. People tend to be harder on themselves than anyone else is and we often forget a lot of simple things that would help us so much if we kept them in our minds and lived by them. People need to treat themselves better and I believe these are a few things to remember when doing so.

1. It's okay to treat yourself once in a while.

2. It's okay to be afraid.

3. It's okay to not be in a relationship.

4. Let yourself get hopeful and excited, don't hold back too much

5. It's actually good to have goals and dreams.

6. It's fine if you have bad days.

7. It's fine if you want something different for yourself than others want for you.

8. You're allowed to help yourself some before you help others.

9. You're allowed to take care of yourself period.

10. You don't always have to have everything planned out all the time.

11. People are always more willing to help than you think they'll be.

12. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

13. Don't bottle up your emotions for too long.

14. You don't know what's going on in other peoples' lives.

15. Taking chances doesn't have to be as scary as it seems.

16. You're human, you have limits.

17. Don't push yourself past those limits.

18. You aren't weak for having limits. You're just human.

19. The smallest act of kindness really can make a huge difference.

20. Serving others is a good way to help yourself heal.

21. It's healthy to take a break when you feel like you need one.

22. You truly are so much stronger than you think you could ever be.

23. You made it this far, you can keep going.

24. Your mistakes don't define you as long as you learn from them.

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

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.
