Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy

But you should never give up.

In this world of impatient people, we, I say that to include myself, want things to happen quickly.

Not only do we not want to wait on anything, we want it to be easy.

We want quick and easy. We do not like waiting nor do we like steps or instructions. We want whatever we do to be done in a way that will involve the least amount of function.

When it comes to relationships, we want it to work to begin with. We want the other person to like us just as much as we like them and we want to carry on with our business. We do not want to work at it.

Speaking of friends and friendships, we want trust to be there accepted and offered. We do not want to have to worry about anything and want the confirmation that this specific friend will always be there. We do not want to work at it.

School or work is another aspect that we want to be simple. The ideal lifestyle would be the one that involves work or school, but involves the simplest form of it. We do not want to work at it.

So, with that being said, what are your thoughts on the quote "Nothing worth having comes easy?"

Why are we so willing to let things that should be of great importance have such small foundations?

Think of it like this, your life is your house. Friends and family are the bricks that make it up. Your relationship is the roof that keeps everything safe. Your work and school are the things that furnish the house. Would you live in a house that was done the quickest and easiest way? Or would you prefer the way that may take longer, that may even be harder, but it will definitely be worth having?

In my life, and I encourage you to adopt this same philosophy, I long for something worth having. I do not care how long it takes to build a valuable relationship or how much I have to work at it, if it will be a relationship worth having. I do not care how long it takes me to trust someone, if it will be a friendship worth having. Work and school may be stressful and difficult, but the life that it lays out for you will be a life worth having.

So do not give up.

Do not give up on that guy or girl that you feel has great potential to be "the one." If you believe it, fight for it. Nothing worth having comes easy.

Do not give up on that friend that needs you and vice versa. If you continue to work at it, your effort will not go in vain. Nothing worth having comes easy.

Do not give up on your job or your school work. It is important to keep the motivation and persevere through all of the doubts life will throw at you. Nothing worth having comes easy.

Nothing worth having comes easy.

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.
