My Girlfriend, Anxiety

I may be difficult but I promise I'm worth it.

Congratulations; you've made it further than most guys will ever go. You managed to stay long enough to break down my walls, which most consider an impossible feat. I'm the code that can't be cracked and now I'm yours. All the work you put in to get this far will all be worth it and everything you've already observed and learned about me will begin to make sense.

There will be days when I wake up in silence and I'm numb to all emotions; when you reach out to comfort me I'll pull away. I don't know why I wake up feeling numb when I have someone who makes me feel so alive, and I'm sorry that I'm not able to explain everything going on in my head to you. Sometimes I don't even understand. My mind is constantly working at 100mph. I notice everything and I pick up on the slightest changes in body language, tone and behavior. Because of this, I drive myself over thinking every thing about you. Sometimes I won't believe you when you say you love me because sometimes I don't even love myself.

People with anxiety have extremely heightened emotions. Whether or not they are shown or openly expressed, they are still there. Anxiety is viewed as a burden or relationship baggage because of the fact that we're on a semi steady emotional roller coaster. However, once my walls come down, you'll realize you will never find someone who will love you like me. My over thinking will turn into thoughtfulness. I'll remember all the secrets you divulged to me when you were drunk and I'll never speak of them again. I may have trouble verbalizing how I feel about you, but I know what songs make you cry, how you like your coffee in the morning and what sweatshirt is your favorite.

I may be fighting myself everyday to let you in and the idea of someone loving me is something so far off it seems like it only happens in fairytales, but I will put my brain through hell to make it happen because the amount of love I have for you trumps all the doubts clouding up the back of my mind. You deserve it for staying and not giving up on me. I may be difficult but I promise I'm worth it. Thanks for sticking around.

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.

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.
