Once You Date 'The Good Guy,' You Never Go Back

Chivalry is certainly not dead.

Once you date a good guy, you never go back. Why would you?

Just about every girl has a similar story – until you dated a good guy, you dated boys that didn’t respect you. Boys that didn’t treat you the way you deserved, whether you realized it or not. You thought to yourself, “chivalry is dead.” But someday soon after, you realized you were wrong.

You started to date a good man. And that man makes you feel whole again. Thank the heavens for the good men in this world, the men that treat women not like objects, but like the women they are – mothers, daughters, sisters and friends.

Once you date a good guy, you don’t worry about feeling insecure. Dating a good man will make you feel cherished, whether you are truly in love or not. A good man will respect you and treat you the way he himself would want his own daughter to be treated. I would never go back to a man that treated me less than my own boyfriend does now. Dating a good guy makes you feel as though you are enough.

Once you date a good guy, you never even consider the boy that made you feel less than you are. You never consider the boy that left you on read when all you asked was for affirmation. You never consider the boy that made you cry. You never consider the boy that lied to you, time and time again. You never consider it, because you know there is better out there.

Chivalrous men will always thrive. And if you have yet to find a good guy, let me assure you a good man is out there, and you should never, ever settle for anyone who makes you feel any less than you are.

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

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.
