I get anxious about alot in my life and I am not quite sure what to do about it. I don't think I need to go on medication because I don't think it's serious enough to be put on medication for it. I have seen a therapist when I was in high school and I think that helped so maybe that is what I will do. I have struggled with it alot this summer which I am not entirely sure why but it has brought my mood down and I have noticed a difference within myself entirely.

My anxiety might have to do with school which I am taking a summer class so that could potentially be it. I do get very anxious when it comes to school work and it almost eats me alive because I get stressed over it. I honestly think it's because I want to succeed but I shouldn't be getting anxious about it. I also think I bottle everything up inside of me and then kind of explode when I hit a certain point.

I have just realized it this summer because I would never explode ever in the past. I think it has to do with my mood and being so sensitive to certain things. It also could have to do with school and being far from home and not liking that part. I don't speak to anyone about it because I don't like talking about it myself. I just think I think way to much into everything and that is what causes me to get anxious. I know anxiety is common with college kids but I actually think I have some sort of case of it. I think talking to someone will help because I can express how I feel but I don't know if that will stop me from getting anxious to begin with. It also could be in my head because I get in my head alot. I just don't what to do about it.

I've had to take medication for my anxiousness in the past but that was because of my attention disorder and now I think I need it for mild case of anxiety. I can't explain what is causing my anxiety but I know it has to do with school, family, friends, and life. Some days I will get anxious and not have a panic attack but I will just get really worked up. This is extremely painful as I can't do anything about it and just need to calm down. It doesn't last long but I just stress myself out and kind of freak out. I talk to my friends about it sometimes but it is hard to talk about with anyone. It is apart of a lot of people's life and I will just have to life with kind of barrier but it doesn't bother me because it has made me into who I am today, and i'll only get stronger.

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

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.
