My Creed: 'I Believe'

I believe, that even though others believe everything happens for a reason, it might not.

I believe that life is complex yet simple.

I believe, that even though others believe everything happens for a reason, it might not.

I believe in mother nature’s caress, and her ability to heal the mind while feeling the earth on your toes.

I believe enjoying the world's wonders in great depth

I believe that true love is rare but is taken for granted.

I believe that the people that will hurt you the most are in disguise wearing familiar faces.

I believe that beauty is in constant motion to our eyes.

I believe that all hopes, dreams and aspiration can and will be realized.

I believe a loss of a child is a wound that remains fresh.

I believe in tomorrows, and the sun rising after a wicked hurricane.

I believe not only in second chances, but the people who accept them.

I believe in insight, so bright, it would illuminate our souls and we would never again fear the darkness of night.

I believe that eyes are the window to the soul, and that you can see everything they ever lived through; their pain, their happiness their memories.

I believe God is feminine and masculine.

I believe life is precious, from an ant that carries a crumb, to a hummingbird who beats its wings to stay afloat, to a baby who pierced the silence of a room with her cry, to a man who sits in a cell.

I believe that a sip of tea opens the senses and relieves the tensions in the body, spiritual, emotional and physical.

I also believe that tea can occupy the mouth, and prevent someone from speaking what’s really on their mind.

I believe although people tear into the soft flesh of animals with their teeth, they are innately good.

I believe although they are innately good, they will do dark and twisted things to others.

I believe that life is meant to be lived through different people not through different screens.

I believe in myself, and I will always believe in others.

I believe that although the world seems like a dark place, there is always a glimmer of hope and change on the horizon.

I believe that one person can make a big a big difference in the lives of others.

I believe, that the world can change and that hope, love, and kindness will prevail.

I don't just want to believe that, I need to believe that.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
