Life advice thought up during a boring class.

Focus On Right Now
Frapress

Focus on right now. You aren't going to grow by constantly focusing on or crying over pain you've felt in your past. Everything happens for a reason and it's all to put you on track to get to the place you're supposed to end up at in the end.

If something feels wrong, end it. If it feels right, enjoy it. You don't know how long the good times will stay, so cherish the memories as they come. When times are tough, know that they will not last, so embrace the lessons that come along with them.

When someone offers you a hand, hold it. When they offer you a shoulder, cry on it. When they offer you an ear, speak to it. If someone offers you none of this, know when it's time to let go. In the end, you are all you have. Let go of the extra baggage weighing you down, and let your mind be free.

Focus on right now because it's the only thing that's guaranteed. Be at peace with where you're at, but never stop learning and growing. You're going to get stuck at times, and you're going to feel lost. You don't need to feel that way forever.

It's been said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Take a baby step even when it feels like a hundred miles. The next step will be that much easier.

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.
