Learn From The Kids...

What can we learn from kids?

So much!

First off, their love for life and adventure is infectious; even just looking at kids can make us happy because they are full of joy. Children are often pros at seeing the world through a positive and magical lens. Never afraid to explore their imagination and find fun in the little things, we can learn a lot from kids! Dr. Seuss once said, “Adults are just outdated children” and I think that is true. So, here is a list of ten pictures that will hopefully let you feel like a kid again, forget about your stress for a few minutes, and embrace the beautiful chaos of life!


1. Good Morning

Nothing is cuter than sleepy and cuddly kids! This child in particular is easy to relate to... waking up is hard! This picture makes embracing of the cozy life quite inviting though!

2. Best Seat in the House

We might not be able to sit on our Dad's shoulders anymore, but this little one can still remind us that we can lean on each other whenever needed. And wow, what a great photo capturing life's happiness.

3. Be the "Dancing Queen"

This kid has it figured out! Life is a great reason in itself to celebrate. So get up and dance!

4. Sing in the Shower

Even the simplest

moments in life can be fun, so remember to embrace the little things!

5. Call up your Friends

Laughter is the best medicine they say, and who can make you laugh more than some of your greatest friends! In college, we often live very far from friends. This can't stop you though from having a good time together!

6. The Surfer Boy

Those little legs might not be quite ready to hit the waves, but that little boy sure does appear ready for some fun adventure! Try something new and enjoy it!

7. The Painter

Channeling her artistic spirit this girl wears her art nicely! How could this photo not make you smile?

8. The Inventors


Sick of walking down the stairs? How about flying down in a new "space jet" or zooming down them in a "car"? As we grow, our creative imagination seems to be locked away, but sometimes it's okay to hold on to that playfulness!

9. Forever Friends

Remember when you'd exchange friendship bracelets, one half of the heart said "friends" and the other half said "forever". I always exchanged those with my sisters, and they were true- we will be friends forever. These kids above also know how to embrace friendship. Hands held together and feet up in the air, never forget the power of love within friendships!

10. Chill Out

All too often, we spend our time freaking out about every gritty detail in our days. This girl knows what life is about! As her shirt reads and her spirit speaks, "It's OK". And it is, really, OK. Life goes on and we're here for each other. So, let go of your worries and embrace life to it's fullest, like kids 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

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.
