5 Things To Remember When Going Through Tough Times
Huffington Post

I have had times where sometimes I feel like life gets the best of me. And sometimes it can get the best of my emotions. Someone can only handle so much that it eventually can overcome us. Whether it is something that is affecting school, work, family, or even my personal/social life. Situations like these can be hard and we may forget our own self-worth. However, we have to remember that tough situations is just a part of life and that we will, eventually, overcome it. Even remembering the best things apart of your life can be helpful in the process of trying to overcome. It is best to remember these few things:

1. This will pass. What what your going through now is normal. Tough times happen to everyone at some point in their lives. Things change, and depending on what it is we have to accept this fact. Eventually, you will get through this.

2. Take care of yourself. We forget about ourselves, when going through stressful times, and it can put us in a bad place. Remembering that you matter most is what is important. It''s okay for your happiness to come first before anyone else's. This does not make you selfish, it only means you're looking out for your own being. So be kind to yourself, this can be one of the best ways to promote healing for your mind and body.

3. Stay away from any negativity. The best thing to do during times like these is to cut out any negativity that is going on through your life. Negativity can be toxic to us. Whether it may be a person, addiction, or bad habit, it is best to stay away from these things. Keeping any negativity in your life will only make your situation. Remove the negativity and focus on the positive aspects of your life.

4. Things happen for a reason. Something to keep in mind is that this could be happening for a reason. Tough times can help us become stronger, realize things we had not grasped before, and even lead us to better things in life. Our tough times, can sometimes be seen as "a blessing in disguise."

5. Remember you have friends and family who support you. While going through times like these, it is best to remember that you have loved ones who care for you dearly. Let them in and tell them what you're going through. These people care for you and would do anything to help you overcome what you're going through.

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.
