All the things I learned in 2019 and so much more

This year was definitely one that taught me several things and has been a ride!

For starters, I graduated from high school! That was one of the best days of my life! Just being able to say that I accomplished a major milestone in my lifetime was incredible. To see everyone you'd grown up with share those memories and special moments together made it even better. Just to see that all of those sleepless nights and mountains of homework went to good use was everything I could ever ask for.

This year I also turned 18! Which means I can finally vote when the time comes, and I am already registered, and that's pretty much it. I am technically an adult which means my childhood ended already but I still consider myself a kid. I am the baby of the family after all.

This year was my first year of college, and let me just tell you that college is a lot of things that high school wasn't. College is three free zone where you get to choose when and where your classes can be, you can bring food to class, play your own music and so much more. Obviously since it is so expensive they always have free events for all the students to attend where you can get free shirts, free food, and other free stuff. On top of that you get to meet so many new people and make new amazing friendships. But it's not so lighthearted and easy. The content, partially, is more challenging and more drastic to your GPA. There's going to be a lot of quizzes, midterm, reviews, finals, and so much more.

This year was also my one year mark at my second job. I've been working at American Eagle for over a year now, and honestly I've loved working with so many bright and young people! It's been the best working there!

This year I went on my first road trip with my close friends. We went to six Flags and Disneyland! I loved every moment of it because we got to bond like never before.

My dad also because a United States citizen this year! He has come so far and he deserves it so much! I am so proud of him and he will always amaze me.

Thank you 2019, it's been a blast! 2020, here I come

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.
