It's Time to Let Go of You

I've held on for long enough, and it's time to move on.

It's Time to Let Go of You
The Gottman Institute

We can't stop ourselves from falling in love with the wrong person.

We try to force ourselves from falling head over heels for the one person who is the definition of trouble.

How can we stop this cycle when we consider the two of us the dynamic duo, a good team, or Bonnie and Clyde?

We've all pictured in our minds and our hearts who we'd end up spending the rest of our lives together. The one who seems to have his life together and has the drive and motivation to continuously move forward in life. Instead, we're pulled from that picture in our minds, and we've fallen for someone who gives us the rush of adrenaline we crave after a long day. They don't have the drive, nor the patience that everyone needs. Those people that are pure danger, intoxication, and we can't help but love them because we love the rush.

We put our lives on the line for that one person. We try not to get sucked into that mentality, but we all end up doing so at one time or another. We can only put our lives on hold for so long, though.

It's now time to let go of them.

It's time to let go of all the danger and intoxication. It's time to be clean and free of the trouble. Falling in love is so easy, and falling out of love is so hard.

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.
