'I’m Quiet': A Poem

I’m told I’m quiet, so I attempted a poem to let you know why.

I'm quiet.
Maybe it's because I don't have too much to say, or I don't know what to say.

Maybe I don't want to be wrong.
I'm scared of being wrong. I'm scared of sounding stupid.

I stay quiet because I'm scared.
I'm scared I might say something that might scare you. I'm scared that I make a wrong comment.
Or I might tell you too much.
Because when I say too much, I might explode.
I'm scared I might explode.

If I explode, you might hate me.
If you hate me, I get sad.
I get sad and I become quiet. I don't want to explode.

But sometimes...

Sometimes, I explode.
I explode because I stay quiet.

Letter To My High School Friend Group

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
