About My Godmother
Kayla Giraud

As many people know, I have quite a large family. I've been blessed with the best cousins, aunts and uncles. One of these aunts happens to be my godmother, and I'm so so proud to be able to say that.

Despite the trials she has, she never complains, she never fails to worry about everyone else and worry about making them happy. She has a heart of gold I’ve seen in very few people.

I don't know what I would do without her constant text messages saying how much she loves me and to have a great day, or the fact that she listens and pays attention to everything I say, even when no one else does. There's never been a time she's steered me in the wrong direction or failed to surprise me.

My aunt is an extraordinary woman. I’m very thankful to have as another mom for me. Truthfully, I don't think I could put into words what she means to me. My aunt has taught me what it means to be a fighter.

She has taught me what it means to be brave. She fought cancer and beat it. I know my aunt is a survivor. She is one of the strongest people I have ever met. Her strength, determination and positive demeanor are inspiring. She has had such an impact on so many people’s lives, including my own. I only wish I was able to do half of doing the things she does.

She is beyond amazing in every way with her generosity, thoughtfulness and talents she continues to use to help other people.

She taught me what it means to have faith and she taught what it means to not give up. My aunt has never given up. She's my hero and if I have inherited any kind of trait from her at all, then I know I'm a better person because of it.

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.
