Hype Yourself up.

Are You In Need Of A Confidence Boost Today?

Let me start by saying, STOP!

Stop caring about what other people think of you.

I know that you want others to think the very best about you, but you cannot live your life when you constantly care what other people may think of your actions or how you look. Care about what you think of you!

HYPE YOURSELF.

People get too into trying to impress the next person, when everyone should focus on impressing their selves. Impress yourself by studying hard, keeping yourself healthy, going for and accomplishing your goals. Impress yourself by being the very best you you could be.

You do not need other people's validation in order to be happy or to have success.

Just be you, for you. Either people will love you or hate you - but the ones that truly love you will always be around. Surround yourself with positive people, people that will pick you up when you fall down. Get rid of the negative because, remember, you don't live to impress them!

DEFEND YOURSELF.

Not only should you stop caring about what others think, you should stop letting people speak negatively about you.

Someone spreading lies about you? Confront them. Someone say or do something to you that hurt you? Speak up about it. Do not allow anyone to get away with making you feel unworthy, unattractive or unsuccessful! Tell them how you feel and get rid of the negativity once and for all.

Bottom line; pick your head up, dust the dirt off your shoulders and keep it pushing. Allow no one to stop you from getting what you want in life. Allow no one to make you feel bad about yourself. And allow NO ONE to stop you from impressing yourself!

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

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.
