Dear Guy whom I have prayed for,

Thank You. Thank you for coming into my life and showing me what it is like to live. Thank you for showing me how to be joyful beyond measure. Thank you for showing me what it is like to be treated me like a woman. You came into my life when I was down and you lifted me off the ground. I would be lying if I said I was okay with us being just friends, because it is obvious that I would love to be able to call you mine and treat you like the man you should be treated.

I prayed for a man like you to come into my life. I prayed for a honest, loyal, humorous man. I prayed for a man that would bring out the real me, the good side of me, and would teach me how to open my heart again. I praise you, you have endured so much and now you have to worry about me. You have seen me at my worst, and now you have seen me at my best. I am my best when you are by my side.

Many men can say that they have seen a woman naked, but not how you have seen me naked. You have seen me at my most vulnerable state. Even with my clothes on, you have seen more of me than anyone else ever will. You saw me naked, but not physically. You have seen me when I was at my lowest. You saw me when I was laying next to you in the dorm lobby on the couch and I was crying. You held my hands and rubbed my back and told me that everything was going to be okay. You are wise beyond your years.

Thank you for willing to see me past all of my flaws.

Thank you for making me talk to you and open up to you even when I didn't want to.

Thank you for continuing to be by my side even when I did open up.

Thank you for believing in me when I did not even believe in myself.

Thank you for showing me that the man that I have prayed for does exist.

Finally, thank you for seeing me past everything I had been through, You did not leave my side even though every other man has.

There is only one thing that could make everything amazing, and that would be me being able to call you mine. But I know that I can't. Because even though you are texting me now and telling me how good of a woman I am, you have commitment issues. I think you are scared that I will leave, but like I have assured you at least three-hundred and seven times, I am not going anywhere. But I do understand where you are coming from, that is why I am not pushy. I am going to give you the time that you need. You are an amazing man. You are humble, you are kind, and you value others opinions more than your own. You are the true image of the guy that I want to spend my time with. I do not believe in love at first sight, but I believe in that click. We had that click. I have only felt that one time in my life, and it was with you.

I will never give up on you. I accept you for you, flaws and all. You tell me that the nice guys always finish last, but I think that the nice girl is finishing last in this race.

No matter what happens, even if we just stay friends and do not become anything more, I will always be thankful that you have came into my life. Do I think that I will ever find someone like you? No, and that is okay. I wouldn't want anyone else but you.

If I could go back and do everything over again, I would do exactly what I did the first time around. I would go through the hardships again if that meant being lead to you. I would make all of the stupid mistakes again if that was what it took. I would not do a single thing differently.

I don't expect you to know that this letter is to you, I don't even expect you to read it. But if you do, just let me say this, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the only man who has walked into my life and made me think that everything was going to be okay. You have seen me down to my core. You have witnessed me when I am low and when I am happy. You have brought me pure happiness. I will always remember you.

Love Always,

The woman who has prayed for a man like you

1 Corinthians 13:4-8: Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

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.
