5 Reminders To Help You Survive Your Week

Remember when we thought college was going to be different from high school? We were WRONG. The difference is how we handle and deal with drama and other situations. Here are five reminders that I use to get through my week.

1. Shit be like that sometimes 

I've learned that stuff happens out of our control. Why should we stress about something we cannot control? Why not worry about what we can? Just like our reactions and how we handle these curve balls, shit happens and there's nothing we can do about it. It's simple.

2. TRUST NO ONE

This is something I learned in high school: There is no such thing as a best friend. There is NO such thing as privacy. In college, it's the same. Roommates can stab you in the back. People start rumors and people snitch. Trust no one with your life or details. It might be used against you.

3. People will always try to hurt you, so don't let them

People in my life have always tried to hurt me. They have done anything and said anything to harm me for any reason. You have to remind yourself that you are better than them. You have something that they don't and that's why they want to hurt you. Don't let them get under your skin–it only gives them satisfaction. You're a bad bitch. Own it.

4. Let them underestimate you.

I know this may be cynical, but let people underestimate you. It really helps me when it comes to defense. People have always underestimated me and when they least expect it, they regret that they ever doubted me or thought they could win. There is nothing wrong with being a silent killer. ;)

5. Always think like Cardi B

Cardi B is known for having no filter and not giving a f*** about what anyone says. Be like Cardi. Don't let the haters get to you. Prove them wrong. We will never be good enough for anyone, so why waste time trying to satisfy them? Be you and be powerful. Live your life the way you want to and ignore others. It's the key to happiness. If others want to hate, let them. Be the center of their world and let them waste their time talking about you. Am I right?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
