Everyone has those pieces of jewelry that are there staples pieces.

That we wear every day. With our favorite outfit. Wearing it makes us feel good.

For me, it's my blue opal hamsa earrings, my Pandora princess ring and a silver cuff bracelet from Israel.

I know this all might sound silly. However, these pieces of jewelry make me, me. They are a part of me and there are stories behind each piece.

People use jewelry to express themselves. Whether its style, color, finish. Gold, silver, bronze. It's a way to self express your self. If you are feeling bold one day you might wear a big bright necklace. If you want to dress up you might wear dangly earrings.

Jewelry can make an outfit spark. It can add the little touch an outfit needs to look fabulous.

For example, my silver cuff bracelet is customized. I got it in the old city of Jerusalem. It says "follow your heart and you will go far" in Hebrew.

To anyone it might look like an ordinary bracelet, but it's special to me.

Jewelry also changes through the years. Certain jewelry is more mature.

I know that I always used to wear a pearl chocker necklace on a black chord. It was almost like my good luck charm. I then got gifted a new necklace from my mom that was made for me. It is special to me and it now takes place of the pearl chocker necklace.

Certain jewelry can also be sentimental. For example, my cousin has a bracelet she got when she was born with her name on it.

There are so many types of jewelry, some people don't wear any and some people wear a lot. It's adjustable for each person and customizable.

My mom has rings that she always wears, it's a part of her. It's different for everyone.

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.
