It's Not Bambi

The meaning behind my tattoo of a deer.

36
It's Not Bambi

It's not Bambi

It's a deer

And it represents what I went through to get here

Fighting everyday

To get away

But there not much else to say

Other than

I'm okay


I can run through this forest as many times as I can

Before I get sick and tired of the same trails

The same land

Wondering every time why I don't take a different path

Because this is the only path

I've taken

For the past

God knows how my years


So no, it's not Bambi

It's a doe

And it represents what I live for

Because a doe will hold her head high

And will thank the sky

For every day she's able to walk by

Herself

And no hunter should hunt her

After seeing

What she's been through

To protect herself

From you


But you still shot her down when she was her most vulnerable

You chased her when she tried to run

You put the arrow right through her heart

And as she laid there

Holding onto her life

You ripped it from her chest

And you killed her


No, it's not Bambi

It's a fawn

Waking up at the crack of dawn

To get away

To find somewhere safe

Because it knows it's hunted

And it lives in fear

But it's learned that is what it's like to be a deer

But it's happy


So no, it's not Bambi

It's me

Because for the first time in years

I am finally fucking free

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.
