I DIDN'T EXPECT WRITERS BLOCK AFTER THIS

My mind is going a million miles a minute but producing nothing.

I DIDN'T EXPECT WRITERS BLOCK AFTER THIS

I get this overwhelming feeling that I really need to write something. When I feel this way, a million different ideas pop into my head like woodpeckers. I get an itch and I need my fingers to scratch the board as the thoughts pour out. As soon as they are set into position, the waterfall stops and I am stuck – high and dry. The need and desire is gone like a sneeze that changed its mind.

At this moment in time I wonder why this happens to me. As soon as I read what I did manage to let out, it’s not good enough for me. It’s not what I am needing to see and process. I know what my heart and my mind need to speak but my subconscious is denying them the option. I think farther down in the pit my body is not ready for me to release the emotions that I know keep stirring and bubbling; though I am certain when it happens my adrenaline will be racing and I will want to physically stop myself.

I have to sit back and breathe in the remaining air in the empty house I am left in. I don’t feel at peace but I don’t feel angrier than I already am. There is no difference, today is both yesterday and tomorrow. So here I am, thrown out of orbit with my mind running in different places and even different dimensions. I’m not numb but I also don’t feel anything. I am just left existing in a world where others I have known no longer do.

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.
