Future Me,

I truly hope that you have reached your goal and you are happy. I know that life hasn't always been easy, but I know it has been a journey full of experiences and challenges. I hope that you have been embracing every moment and appreciating every opportunity. I hope that you have been challenging yourself. You always needed the extra push sometimes. I hope that you remained blissfully enchanted by everyone you meet. I hope that you are still choosing to have a big heart, instead of allowing the cruel world to get to you. I hope that you have been honest, even if your honesty created turmoil. The only thing we have in this life to be remembered by is our word. I hope that you created something, and you are proud of it.

I hope that you are reckless sometimes, you never have been good at taking chances and you needed to be. I hope that you are being the best teacher you can be, you were always told you were going to change the lives of your students. I hope that you are still allowing yourself to let people in, even when others show you reasons not too. I hope that you are still the kind of person that would drop anything to do anything for anyone.

I hope that you are still holding your family and friends close to you because they have always been so important. I hope that you aren't overworking yourself and you are finding time to just relax. I hope that you are still writing. It has been important to you forever and just because life gets distracting I don't want you to lose that. I hope you are still finding the positive side of every situation and using that to your advantage. I hope you wake up happy every day and embrace all the things this life has given you.

Future me, what I really am trying to say is that you deserve the world, so I hope that you are taking advantage of life and remembering all the greatness in the world. Sometimes this world can be dark but you always brought a light to it.

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.
