Sometimes It's The Hard Times That Show You Who Is Truly There For You

It is unfortunate, but it's always the hardest and toughest moments in our lives that show you who is truly there for you. Whether it's a death, a health crisis, or whatever the situation may be, those are the times where your loved ones and friends can and should be there for you. After all, part of your duty as a friend means to be caring.

It's during the worst storms of your life that you will get to see the true colors of the people who say they care for you. — Unknown

Especially with things being posted on social media these days, it's kind of hard to not know what is happening in someone's life, that's if they choose to post about it. If someone posts their situation on Facebook or Instagram, especially a story post, people are going to see it. We all know with social media that you can see who viewed your story.

So, it's really easy to know who just didn't even bother to reach out in your time of need if you posted about it. But we have to be grateful for the people who do reach out and show their support. They are the most important ones to keep around you. It amazes me when people you don't get to speak to often even reach out; that is always really heartwarming.

I recently went through a really tough time and so many people were there for me, even people I don't really see or speak to often, and that made me feel so loved. I'm so thankful to have amazing friends by my side and I'm so grateful for them all.

I know we all go through hardships in our lives, but just remember how you feel when you're going through it and how you want people to be there for you. The next time someone you know is going through something, reach out to them. Check on them. Show your support. They will appreciate it so much.

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.
