An Open Letter To The Most Inspiring Person I Know, My Older Sister
Autumn Robertson

To my dear sister Autumn,

I cannot imagine how I could have gotten through these crazy 18 years without you. You have been such a supportive, caring sister that has been there for me when no one else was and always knows how to put a smile on my face. There are so many things that I love about you but what I love most is your drive, your compassion for others, and how you stand up for everything you believe in. These qualities and so much more make you the person I hope to be like one day.

You have motivation like no one I have seen before and whenever you put your mind to something, no one can stand in your way.

You started an organization on campus that helps others and makes a huge difference in the campus community, you work with so many others, and you guide and collaborate with those that you work with. Seeing you being such a good, genuine leader intrigues me to follow in your footsteps and make a difference in my own way.

You have always put your friends and family as the main priority and I envy that about you. Whenever I need help with something, need advice, or simply just need something to do you are always there right by my side, helping me better myself and stay true to what is right. You reflect this on all people, generating love and kindness all around you.

You have made me feel nothing but loved for as long as I can remember and for that I am thankful.

Your favorite attribute of mine is that despite what others say, you stay true to what you believe in. You love things like meditation, feminism, veganism, and so many other things that people tend to turn their nose up to. Even when people (sometimes myself) make fun or criticize your ways of living, you simply explain how it benefits you personally and go on living the same way. You don't apologize for who you are and that's what I appreciate the most.

I am so thankful that I get to see you every day and be moved by your love and compassion. You inspire me every day and in the future, I hope to be as driven, compassionate, and confident in my beliefs as you are.

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.
