An Open Letter To My Girlfriend

To my love,

If you're reading this, hi :) but you are probably wondering why? In all honesty I'm not too sure. I have mentioned multiple times how I can not fathom the work you do for law and how essays are not my cup of tea. But while working on the playlists for you, I wanted to write you this letter.

At this point in time, I have told my friends from high school that I am actually planning on marrying you. Sure that is 4-5 years in the future but hey, it felt right. A part of me is worried that I am rushing this and I don't know what I am saying. Am I jumping into this too fast? Am I ready to commit long term? Is this actually going to workout? Well in all honesty, I don't know.

But what do I know this: I know that you have sacrificed a lot to make this relationship work. I know that you will try your very best to be the best mother to our kids. I know you've given me a second chance for all my mistakes in the past and I know that you deserve all the best things in life.

I have come to realise thatI shouldn't let my worry of the future rob me of my experience in the present. So deep yeah, I know :).

All I know is that as long as we communicate and keep trying to fix our issues together, I know we can do this. I know it gets hard, both us have our flaws and it gets in the way of everything, but our dream house is worth it. Our little garden with all the flowers that you love, our future Rottweiler and Cocker Spaniel playing in the sun, while our future cat watches over them in annoyance the same way old people dislike noisy teenagers. Sure its just a dream now, but in 5 years and as long as we stay dedicated and committed to each other and our careers, it'll be a reality sooner than you know it.

It seems like yesterday I met you for the first time in front of that Co-Op, tired and annoyed of being dumped and losing my first ever basketball game. But (at the point of writing this,) we've known each other for 8 months and 2 days, and officially dated for 4 months and 2 days. Oh how fast time has flown by.

I can't wait to ride this rollercoaster of life with you by my side and be the best possible selves we can be. (Got to make that time traveler dream of yours a reality somehow.)

I love you so much baby.

Yours forever,

D.

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.
