There Is Good In The Bad

How a toxic relationship showed me where my happiness was.

There Is Good In The Bad

In This Article:

Personally, I have always been a relationship person.

I recently just got out of a two-year relationship, there were good times but also there were bad times.
I will always care for him and I do wish him the best, but together we were like fire and gasoline. We brought out the absolute worse in each other. We did love each other, but every time it was all good I was constantly waiting for the bad to come and it always did. It felt as if everything good was only temporary and that certainly is not a good feeling.

A lot of bad stuff happened within those two years, and it was not all him it was me, too.

If it were not for this relationship I would not be who I am today. Leaving this relationship was the best thing that had ever happened to me. I have grown into a person who is actually learning to love herself. I have met so many amazing new people and rekindled many old friendships.

I am a new person, and every day is a new day.

That relationship had taught me so many valuable things and lessons that I will never ever forget.

In all seventeen years of my life, I am the happiest I have ever been.
A toxic relationship can drain you but it can also help you. It can show you how beautiful you really are, it can show you what you really want, and it can show you how to be happy.

If you take the good out of a bad thing, you will be amazed at what you can find.

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.

two women enjoying confetti

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.
