Heartbreaks Will Happen More Than Once

Is my heart even whole anymore?

I feel like my heart hasn't been one in a while. Every time it shatters, I pick up all the pieces, but I guess the glue just isn't strong enough to hold it together. I don't know how many times one's heart can break until is permanently broken.

Too many people have told me long distance doesn't work, so when you asked, I shut you down quickly. I was scared of what could happen when we're 600 miles apart. Even though I am the one who said "we can't be together right now," I couldn't bear to hear the words that left your mouth. I would never expect you to wait for me, but I didn't know it could be that easy and fast for you to move on. You said you're "in love with me," yet it wasn't months or even weeks for you to be kissing someone else. It took 3 days. That's all. How can I trust someone who still says those three words, but shows different actions. Was what we had even real? The way you moved on. That was quick.

"Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie? If what we had was real, how could you be fine?" (5 Seconds of Summer).

My playlist has been repeating the same songs for days now. It usually goes like this: High Hopes, Somebody to You, Amnesia, Happier, and the one that takes me home, the one you said you changed: The Reason.

The letters you wrote, the little stuff you did, the hope you gave me, all of it feels like it never happened anymore. I would say, "People don't change," but you would continue and say, "but they learn to improve." You would finish my sentences like you knew what was going inside of my mind. It was fun until you stopped and questioned what was actually going inside of my head, believing I wasn't thinking about you.

I guess it's time for me to let you go. However, you already left. I don't understand how you are fine.

"Cause I'm not fine at all."

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.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
