12 Pieces Of Advice I Need My Little Sister To Carry With Her
Brooke Eveland

To my sweet little sister,

I want you to know that I am giving you this advice because I love you and know all of the potential that you have inside of you. Keep this advice in your heart, and carry it with you as you grow up.

Here are 10 things I want you to know:

1. Know your worth.

You are beautiful, unique, intelligent, and overall incredible. Don't let oanyone tell you otherwise or diminish all of the amazing qualities you have.

2. If you want something, go after it.

Whether its a spot on a team or a future job, go after your dreams. No matter how hard it may seem to achieve them, don't let others stand between you and what you want in life.

3. Being unique is a beautiful thing.

You don't need to adapt to others and what they like. Be yourself, and embrace your interests and passions.

4. You don't need to wear layers of makeup.

You're beautiful. Those freckles that go across your nose and cheeks are a work of art; don't spend hours covering them up just to impress others.

5. Keep your standards high and morals present.

Always keep your morals in the back of your mind, and remember them when you are faced with adversity. It is easy to fall to peer pressure, but stay strong; it will pay off in the end.

6. Don't let jealous people bring you down.

Sometimes people that feel insecure will try to make you feel bad about yourself only to make themselves feel better. Just try to brush it off, but if you need to vent, I am here for you.

7. Pick friends that lift you up.

If you are going to have a group of friends, try to make sure that they are people that are going to motivate you to be the best version of yourself.

8. Put your heart into everything you do.

Always put your best efforts forward and your heart into all you do. Others will recognize how dedicated and determined you truly are.

9. Smile more, frown less.

Smile when you are around others. Be upbeat, kind and light-hearted. But, if you are hurting, come home and remember that I am always here for you.

10. That boy might be cute, but is he kind?

You deserve someone who will motivate you, treat you right, and love you for who you are. Don't you ever forget what you deserve.

11. Look up once and awhile.

Nowadays, social media and electronics pretty much control our lives. Remember to pick up your head from your phone and take in the beauty around you.

12. Remember that I will always be your big sister

If you need someone to rant to, I am here. If you need an outfit for school, my closet is yours. If you need a shoulder to cry on, you can have mine. And if you need someone to remind you how much you are loved, I will tell you endlessly.

I hope you take this advice to heart and carry it with you throughout your life. You are amazing and I am so proud to call you my little sister.

I love you, Sis.

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.
