Taylor Swift Is Right, We Need To Calm Down

But I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun

Taylor Swift you need to calm down

I think lately, we could all learn a thing or two about calming down. What better way to showcase that than Taylor Swifts new song, "You Need To Calm Down". We're all so caught up on things that we are offended by and don't like, that we are not even enjoying the things that we do.

"And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression"

We're so obsessed with what everyone else is doing and what it is that they're doing that we don't agree with. It is definitely time we start letting people enjoy their life and enjoy our own. Who are you to take someone else's happiness away? Is it worth sacrificing your own?

"You need to calm down, you're being too loud"

Instead of speaking up against someone else, what if we spoke up with them? Imagine the world we could live in if everyone was a littler nicer to each other. If we came together for a common cause instead of picking each other apart of about ones that don't even matter in the greater scheme of things. Didn't your momma ever tell you if you didn't have anything nice to say, to not say it at all?

"Like can you not step on our gowns?"

I use to focus so much on what other people were doing and whether or not I liked it or not, but I realized that it was taking away from my own happiness. Other people are really just out there living their life and I have no place to make judgments about it. I have tried switching up my mindset and focusing on the good and positive things, what I do like and what I do want to be involved in. I think we should all strive to have a mindset like that, we will be a lot happier in the end.

"We all know now we all got crowns"

If someone else is living a life you don't agree with, guess what? It's not your life and you don't have to life it. We're allowed to be happy and do the things that make us happy, unapologetically. Calm down and focus on your own life and happiness, instead of taking away someone else's.

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.
