1. “Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into, can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun”

This applies to everything else in college except that really hard class you’re in right now.

2. “In life, you learn lessons. And sometimes you learn them the hard way. Sometimes you learn them too late.”

Like showing up to class and realizing that it’s cancelled but you already made the trek across campus

3. “Just because something is over doesn’t mean it wasn’t incredibly beautiful. Because another lesson I’ve learned is not all stories have a happy ending and you have to learn to deal with that.”

This one’s really personal and deep. My story is that I had a really great night of sleep this past Sunday night and it was incredibly beautiful, but I also had to face Monday and that was not my happy ending because I had to deal with yet another Monday.

4. “Life is a ruthless game unless you play it good and play it right.”

I’ve learned that if I make the right friends in my classes that are nice enough to sign me in when I don’t show up is how you play the game good and right

5. “Life is like walking, you take one step at a time.”

Except when you’re really bad at walking and trip on your way to class one morning

6. “Life isn’t how to survive the storm, it’s about how to dance in the rain.”

But not at 8am when you’re trying to walk to class and you show up looking like you just got out of the shower

7. “The trials and tribulations in your life make you stronger.”

I relate to this on a deep level because completing my nursing major is a trial and tribulation in itself

8. “The world doesn’t owe you anything. You have to work for everything you get, and you have to appreciate every bit of success the world gives you.”

I’d like to personally thank not only Jesus but also quizlet for my success in college this far

9. “Being fearless isn’t being 100% not fearful, it’s being terrified, but you jump anyway.”

I’m not sure if this applies when I wanted to jump off that bridge Monday morning instead of going to class.

10. “Giving up doesn’t always mean you are weak, sometimes you’re just strong enough to let go.”

I will give up that fact that I do not have a 4.0 GPA

11. “If somebody hurts you, it’s okay to cry a river but remember to build a bridge and get over it.”

I actively take steps toward recovering from the hurt that I’ve experienced as a result of the grades I got last semester in all my classes

12. “I’ve questioned everything about myself, every step of the way. You have to have the same amount of fear and self-doubt as you do hope and blind optimism.”

I ask myself multiple times a day as to why I’m a nursing major but then I remember it’s FTK

13. “I wish teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.”

I also turn to the best food they have in commons that day, but I’ve also learned that I’ll probably be fat if I continue to keep up this unhealthy lifestyle.

14. “Live your life like you’re 80 looking back on your teenager years. You know if your dad calls you at eight in the morning and asks if you want to go out for breakfast. As a teenager you’re like no, I want to sleep. But as an eighty-year-old looking back you have that breakfast with your dad. It just little things like that, that helped me when I was a teenager in terms of making choices you won’t regret.”

Will compromise my sleep schedule for free food and always remember the times that I did.

15. “I feel in my music I can be a rebel. I can say things I wouldn’t say in real life.”

Alcohol. Enough said

16. “Nobody in country music “made it” the same way. It’s all different. There’s not blueprint for success, and sometimes you just have to work at it.”

Maybe changing my major for the 10th time will help me find some success in life.

17. "If you’re horrible to me, I’m going to write a song about it and you won’t like it. That’s how I operate.”

Stay tuned for the latest article about you.

18. “I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to love. No one does! There’s no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can’t plan for it; I can’t predict how it will end up.”

I can relate but more about my life and not love

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

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.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
