A Letter To My Sister On Her Graduation Day
Tia Amabile

Dear Sister,

You did it. You made it through college alive. Although these are said to be the "best four years of your life," I have no doubt in my mind that you will have a lifetime full of amazing years. I'm so proud of you, your accomplishments, and how you've always managed to do everything with a smile on your face and kindness in your heart.

You possess more heart than anyone I've ever known and I know that will take you far. New beginnings can be scary. The unknown intimidates us, but that's precisely what pushes you to grow. I've watched you grow as a person these past few years and you have blossomed into quite the young lady. Any company, man, dog, plant ... basically anything would be lucky to have you.

I know it can be hard to get over the feeling that everything is ending. Within these last few months, the word graduation has often been met by seniors with a cringe or a tear in their eye. You go from being in your favorite clubs and seeing familiar faces every day to relying on social media and FaceTime to stay in touch. But in those moments of sadness when you are mourning the "death" of your college career, just think back on how blessed you are to have had such wonderful things and people brought into your life that make you so sad to be without them. Memories are forever.

You've had your ups and you've had your downs. What amazes me is no matter what the situation, you handle it with maturity and grace. That's just what makes you ... you. If you're ever feeling lost, just remember that you have a whole family that adores you. We're your biggest supporters and will always be here to pick you up when you're feeling low.

No matter where life takes you. I've always got your back homie. Go make me proud(er than I already am)!

Love,

Your Biggest Fan

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.
