Good Morning, Terra Mater.

Inspired by our beautiful Mother Earth.

Good Morning, Terra Mater.
Chayanne Lawrence

The sun rises at 7:02 AM.

My eyes scanned the dark room around me while I listened to the constant buzz of my ceiling fan.

The light between my blinds faded from a mute dark blue,

to a loud bright baby blue.

The in-between time is what was breathtaking.

Some one, somehow managed to use a gradient overlay on the sky.

Times like these make me wonder why we chose the time schedule that we did.

Why we sleep through one of the most beautiful moments of the day.

Night is one of the most intriguing parts of life.

To be asleep during such an enlightening time, when everything is so clear, is wasteful.

Beauty is missed.

Time escapes us.

The birds, I want to know how the birds feel.

To be awake when dawns light does not permit its beauty to be missed.

When she is too bright to be ignored.

I watched the sun awaken this morning.

I think I fell in love with life all over again; or rather, for the first time.

When the sun went down thoughts of endings and conclusions clutter the vacant space in my head.

Tonight, I powered through.

I found a peace within the night,

which most people fall asleep before finding.

Today I lingered past sister luna.

I witnessed the birth of another day.

I watched as young ad lucem danced through my window and across the walls of my room.

Watching the sky fade from a cool purple-y blue to warm yellow orange, I was inspired to take on every day like my own reincarnation.

Just like our Terra Mater.

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.
