Many of you guys are probably already familiar with Cara Van Brocklin. If you have no idea who Cara Van Brocklin is, she is a 26-year-old fashion blogger from Utah.

Van Brocklin is already taking the Internet by storm. She has over 700,000 followers on Instagram and almost 50,000 YouTube subscribers. And if that's not impressive enough, Van Brocklin and her famous blogger friends, Christine Andrew and Mary Seng, all sat front row with for Tommy Hilfiger and Gigi Hadid's fashion show in Venice Beach, California, just a few weeks ago.

Van Brocklin is also a mother of two adorable little boys. Her oldest son, Hanes, was born on October 28, 2011, and her youngest son, Arrow, was born on July 30, 2014. Hanes and Arrow both frequently appear on her Instagram page.

Did I mention that her husband, Brody, is one of the hottest men alive? Here's some photographic evidence that proves my point.

But Cara Van Brocklin is more than just an Instagram celebrity. In fact, her life is a lot similar to the lives of most 20-something girls.

For those of you who don't know a whole lot about Cara Van Brocklin, she and her husband are college sweethearts. They met at Weber State University, which is located in Ogden, Utah. When they first met, which was at Weber's Purple and White basketball game, Brody was a senior on the school's basketball team and Cara was a freshman on the dance team. Brody was also good friends with many of Cara's dance teammates.

Brody and Cara were both set up by a man named Dave. Dave was one of Brody's teammates and best friends, and he came back from an overseas trip and got a new phone. So to pull a prank on Brody, Dave told him that he had Cara's number. Brody was giddy with excitement, but what he didn't realize was that Cara's "number" was actually Dave's new number. One Halloween party and many Facebook messages later, Brody finally had Cara's phone number. They dated and became an official couple shortly after their first meeting. They were married at the Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City on June 19, 2009.

Cara's life has been filled with many happy moments, but she also had to deal with a couple of scary moments. For example, when she delivered Hanes, he wasn't breathing right away because of the way his umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. She didn't see him immediately after his birth, but thankfully he is still a happy and healthy boy. For Arrow, he was slightly blue after birth due to the pressure of Cara's water breaking before she delivered him. He is also a very happy and healthy little boy.

From appearing front-row at Gigi Hadid's fashion shows to having a profile in the Huffington Post, Cara Van Brocklin can do it all. Rather than being labeled as an Instagram "goal," Cara is truly a real-life inspiration for us all.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
