Dear Grandma and Grandpa,

First off, I want to tell you how much I truly love you and everything you have ever done for me. No words can explain how thankful I am, even when you feel like I don't appreciate it, I do. You took me in when you didn't have to, but out of your pure love you did.

Thank you for showing me what it's like to be loved. Through thick and thin you have continued to love me while supporting me in everything I do. You show me that I deserve love and constant support, which is something that I'm very glad I have. If I ever feel sad I know that I can call or text you. If I ever need advice, you guys are right there to point me in the right direction. Whether I need help with school, my future, or any type of relationship I know that you will talk me through it.

Thank you for showing me I have a purpose in this world. Since having you guys as my guardians, I now know that I have a destined purpose in this world. That I am wanted, and most importantly needed. You also were able to give me the self-love and acceptance that all teenagers need.

I'm grateful for your amazing food and genuine dinner table conversations. You ask about my day, and you actually want to know the little things that don't matter to most. You care about how my classes are and what I and my friends have been up to. Thank you for showing interest.

Back to the food, when others don't get their grandmas cooking unless it's a holiday, I get mine all the time! Seriously, your mac-and-cheese is to die for. You make the best crock pot roast beef and real mashed potatoes. My mouth is watering at the thought of it. I feel like the luckiest of all my friends just based off of the food I get.

Thank you for all the times you cheered me on at sporting events and school functions. It's so nice to see someone in the stands cheering your name, wanting the best for you. Before moving in with you guys, I never had that push because it felt like no one was behind me to cheer me on. Having all of this now blows my mind.

It means so much more than what one letter can explain, but I hope you forever know that you mean the absolute world to me. Please never forget these words, even when I may not be always showing my love for you. I mean everything and want you to truly know it in your heart. I'm forever blessed that God gave me grandparents like you two. I didn't do anything to deserve you guys, but I'm not complaining because it's the biggest blessing. Thank you for it all. I love you.

Love,

Your grandchild.

Actually. In this case, your child.

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.
