Second chances.

Sometimes they are worth it and other times you find yourself second guessing ever giving someone a second chance. But some second chances are risks you have to take. Especially when it comes to loving someone and having patience with not only them but yourself.

Sometimes the right person will come along but it won't be the right timing. I'm a very strong believer in "right person, wrong timing". Sometimes people have to grow apart and truly find themselves and what they want in order to be the best version of themselves.

Nothing is going to be easy when you reconnect with someone after so much time has passed. But what I have learned is that if two people love each other and want it to work, they will always find a way. The challenge will be worth the reward if you have faith and trust in each other. It's about taking chances and not being afraid to say, "this is what I want" and "this is how I feel". Because at the end of the day, what do you have to lose?

I never would've imagined my life how it is today compared to how it was a year ago, but I mean this in the best way possible. I'm so thankful for the person that I have grown up to be, and for my boyfriend who is patient with me beyond belief. Second chances mean everything when the person is everything to you. I will not take any of these moments for granted.

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.
