7 Important Pieces Of Life Advice From My Mom
Julia Niklewicz

Moms are the greatest gift you have in life. They shape you into the person that you have become and they will always be there for you. They also give the best advice when its needed and are always there for you.

1. Never go to bed mad.

We've all done it and woken up feeling so much worse. No matter what hard thing you're going through or who's giving you a hard time, you should never go to bed mad. Even if you can't resolve your issue with a specific person, find joy in something or someone else. Call up your best friend, talk to your mom, watch your favorite tv show.

2. Get rid of toxic people. Surround yourself with people who treat you right.

Sometimes it's hard to know who has the right intentions, but it's clear that if someone wrongs you more than once you need to move on. It may be scary to get rid of friends but sometimes it's what needs to be done.

3. Always be kind, you never know what someone else is going through.

Kindness is key, even a smile to a stranger can change that person's day. You never know everything that someone is going through, so make sure that you treat everyone with respect. Also, little acts of kindness can go a far way.

4. There's nothing like a great sister.

Your siblings are your best friends that you're stuck with, but they can relate to you in a way that no one else can. Never take your siblings for granted because they love you more than you know.

5. You can do anything you set your heart and your mind to.

Never get discouraged, life can be hard sometimes. The best part is that if you really want something, you can achieve it if you keep trying. But also remember to not waste your time on something you really don't care about.

6. Friendship should be easy.

When you find the right people it should be easy. Yes, everyone goes through rough patches with their friends, but you shouldn't have to work so hard to be great friends with someone. Also, always remember friendship is a two way street.

7. When all else fails, just know your mom will always be there for you.

No matter what life hands you, your mom will always be there waiting with open arms, and if you're away at school, a phone call or FaceTime call can do the trick too.

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.
