An open letter to those who thought they couldn't make it.

Dear you,

I want you to know that you can do it. You can do anything you set your mind to. Life is yours for the taking, now go out and dominate it. God gave you life for a reason and it wasn't to just eat, sleep and die.

I know it can be scary but it can also be exciting! An adventure is always waiting for those who are willing to go out and chase it. You just have to be open to change. You also have to be able to fight for what you want. Not everything is easy and sometimes you have to get up and work for it.

Trust me, I know. I didn't want to go to college and didn't even think I could make it but here I am, a semester and a half away from graduating. I am proud of myself for getting up and doing it. I did have help but that is not always bad, sometimes you need a little push and some support.

Need help? Ask for it. There are always resources to be used and found. SO USE THEM. Branch out, ask questions. There are no stupid questions, never feel shy or stupid because if you do you wont go anywhere. You cannot let those things stop you. Do whatever it takes to feel confident and comfortable. Even if that means blaring music that makes you feel good, then do it. Find what makes you shine.

Most of all have faith in yourself. If you can't believe and trust in yourself how do you expect others to?

No matter what stage of life you are in everyone needs to be reminded that they can do whatever they set their minds to. Hard work does pay off. Just think about that next time you feel like quitting.

Now go out and get what you want and don't be afraid of rejection, it's a part of life. Just keep going and don't let anything or anyone stop you.

Good luck and go get it!

Sincerely,

Motivation

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
