Taking Life Advice From A Pineapple

"Be like a pineapple: stand tall, wear a crown, and be sweet on the inside."

You have more than likely heard this quote, or better yet seen it, in the past few years. I'm not sure who wrote it or where it even came from, but it has been a staple in most of my news feeds across social media. From the time that I read it, I loved it.

If you know me, you know I have had an obsession with pineapples for a great chunk of my life. They are the most exotic looking fruit and taste like a day on the beach. In my opinion, there is no excuse for not LOVING to kick back with fresh pineapple and just enjoy some sun.

When I came across the pineapple quote, it really resonated with me. I mean why wouldn't it? I love being sweet, and who doesn't love wearing a crown? But in so many aspects of life, it is totally right.

Stand tall.

I am exactly who I am supposed to be. I am confident in the person that I am. The best way for me to live my life is to stand firm in who I am and what I believe in and to live my life to the best of my ability. Standing tall is something that I try to attest to every day, and I think I do a good job at it. You should be confident in who you are and not apologize to those who may not see life in the way that you do.

Wear a crown.

When any little girl is given a crown she puts it on her head and there is nothing in the world that is going to stop her. Pineapples wear crowns in the fruit section of every grocery store and you can spot them from a mile away. If you are wearing your crown every day, you are living your best life. Some days are not always going to go in your favor. But you can also control how your days go by how you react to every situation you are given. Wearing your crown means making the best out of every day and not letting anyone (or any situation) determine your outlook.

Be sweet.

Just be sweet. With yourself, with the ones you love, with the strangers that you pass on the walk to class. You never regret a day when you are able to do a random act of kindness for anyone. I make a point to care for anyone that I can on any given day. Loving those around me is what I thrive off of, and there is no better feeling than brightening someone's day. Be sweet in all that you do, and especially be sweet to you.

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.
