Who reading this feels that they have multiple things to offer the world. I know I do.

That's why I'm putting all these words on this page. Not to tell you that we should all be interested in a million things, but because I don't want to pick ONE thing, I don't want to BE ONE thing. I want to be creative, and analytical, a #girlboss, and a mom. I want to be kind, but I want to speak my mind and not apologize for it. I don't like being told too choose, I refuse.

Thinking that my life could end up being dedicated to one single thing for 40 years makes me itchy, phobic, and downright depressed. I have the upmost respect for people that can really commit to working/being one thing, but my personality won't allow for that.

I want to have my cake and eat it too, I want to work out at 5:30 in the morning and have a healthy lifestyle, but I still want to drink that ten precent craft until two in the morning. Balance is the word, but I don't want balance, I want a full throttle, e-brake, burning rubber to stop kind of life.Moderation is for wimps (not really, but I'm totally incapable of balance, ask my husband). I love hard, I fail hard, and I live hard. I don't think that's anything to be embarrassed about or ashamed of, I think that's something to celebrate.

Three years ago I moved to a new town after college and had no idea what I was doing with my life. I had just graduated and I completely underestimated the emotional toll that moving into a new life stage took. I had a job I was thankful for, but not happy at, so I decided to get a dog (disclaimer - he is totally awesome, but so much work, yet I can't imagine how much cheaper he was than therapy), take a night class twice a week for 3.5 hours after work, and maintain the social life I had in college. Needless to say, I did end up realizing that I have to be reasonable while "living life to the fullest"

Everyday I'm learning, and it's not by being passive, It's because I'm out there trying twelve new things a week, finding out what my passions are, living my life to the fullest. I've learned a few things along the way.

So lets go all in, and lets make sure that our legacy is "she had no idea what she was doing, but she did it all".

Be fierce my fellow humans.

Cheers

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.

two women enjoying confetti

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.
