Fate Doesn't Happen By Accident...

When the stars align, fate hits you in the face and destiny is there to watch it all happen.

Fate Doesn't Happen By Accident...
Tyler Sanders

Have you ever had a memory that you look back on and all of a sudden...BAM! Destiny, fate, the lining of the stars and planets or whatever you call it hits you in the face? Almost like the kool-aid man coming through the wall next to you and saying "OH YEAH. THAT'S SOME GOOD DESTINY THERE!" Cause we all know that's how it works.

Whether it's how you met your other half, best friend, someone you call family, got a certain job or maybe just had some lucky moment. We've all been there. We've all realized that after some chain of events (usually crappy ones), something good happened. Something we cherish and will never forget.

Maybe it was a hard relationship(s) that set you straight to find someone who has fixed everything in life. They became your knight in shining armor and swept you off your feet. Showing you a whole new world and opening up your heart to something new. They brought you a feeling of bliss that you thought you understood before. Fate brought you to this person.

Or was it you playing your cards right to have a certain outfit on or maybe go somewhere at the perfect time. You ended up finding something that made your bad days turn around. It was almost as if you pulled the golden ticket that day. It was the stars aligning.

What if it was a chain of events from meeting one person to the next and so on. Maybe that one person has helped you change your life around for the better. That person opened up so many opportunities that would still remain a fantasy if you never said "hello" to them. That's your destiny.

We always here blah blah it's in your cards, it's your fate, it's your destiny. Well, it's true. Maybe we don't all believe in that hooblah that some fortune teller would tell you. Or believe in luck, superstition and card readings. But out of all of it, this is something you have felt.

Destiny, fate or whatever you decide to believe it to be, it will always find a way into your life and when you remanence on everything just be thankful the stars picked you that day.

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.
