High school seems like ages ago.

It has been over two years since we all walked across that stage in that horrible yellow gown. Many of us are twenty or about to turn twenty. It's so weird that we're not teenagers running around Mad Co anymore.

Many of us are in college, miles apart from each other. Working on our futures and paving the way for our careers.

Even though most of us have all gone our separate ways, I wish nothing but the best for every single one of you.

I don't care if we didn't like one another very much, we had our disagreements, we dated in the past, anything. Life is too short to hold grudges and to be full of hate and resentment. There's already enough of that going around in the world, no need to add fuel to the fire. Let bygones be bygones.

I hope your successful and that you get everything you could ever dream of.

It's interesting the people you hold close to you while you grow and become who you are. Even if we're not as close as we once were, if you ever need anything, I am always a phone call or a text away. I don't care what it's for, a car ride, advice, just someone to talk to. I'm there.

You guys will always be my friends and you will always have a place in my heart.

With the holiday season approaching us, I'm sure I will be seeing some of you and catching up on life. If I don't, I hope everything is going well. I hope school isn't trying you like it is me, I hope you're enjoying life and doing the most. We're almost halfway done with college, that's insane to me. I hope you enjoy the holidays with your families and I'm sure I will see you sometime in the future.

Miss and love you guys!

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

11. You will have at least one stress induced breakdown a semester.

12. Most lecture classes will bore you to tears.

13. You will not like all of your professors.

14. You will try to go to the gym... but you will get too lazy at some point.

15. When you see high school students taking tours:

16. You will try to convince yourself that you can handle everything.

17. Finals week will try to kill you.

18. You won't like everyone, but you will find your best friends sooner or later.

19. You actually have to go to class.

20. Enjoy it, because you will be sad when it is all over.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
