To My Best Friend,

I don't know where to start, so I'll just begin with saying thank you. Thank you for being there when I needed a voice of reason. Thank you for always being a warm smile to come to in this cold world. Thank you for all the late talks. Thank you for being there, to help pick up the pieces when it was all crumbling down. Thank you for all the laughs and jokes we've had. Thank you for walking this path of life with me. Thank you for teaching me what I know now. Thank you for not always knowing the answer, but still be willing to help me figure things out. Thank you for being my best friend.

Now, I want to just brag on how much of an inspiration you are to me. When I sit and listen to you talk about your journey, I am amazed. I could sit and listen to you talk about a story for an hour and still be in awe. When you speak, you can hear in your voice the life you've lived. Now I know you aren't perfect, you have flaws just like me. However, the way you embrace your imperfections is beautiful to me. You always have a smile on your face, and I think that's why I love you. I may not have been there from the 1st grade, but in the time I've known you, WOW! You've taught me that the bad times aren't permanent, and that the good times are even better with you. You've always been there picking me up when I wanted to quit. You have taught me that world changers don't always come from the highest points, but the lowest points.

Next, I want to reminisce on all the amazing times we've had. Thank you for the countless laughs we've had. All the times we've laughed until our stomachs have hurt. Thank you for all the crazy night drives, acting like fools. Oh, and we can't forget the FaceTime calls and all the laughs we've had there as well. Thank you for the nights we stayed up late talking about our futures, and how we wanted them to look. Thank you for the moments of pure joy that we've shared together. Let's not forget about the late night taco bell runs or the time we laughed so hard I had to pull over. Thank you for the nights we laid awake talking about who know's what. Thank you for the moments in my life that make me smile from ear to ear. I love you for this!

On the other had, I want to look back on the not so great times. The times that are hard to look back on, you've been there. The times I laid in my bed unable to move, you were there. The times that I cried my eyes out over something stupid, you were there. The times where I was in my dorm, crushed and defeated, you were there. To the times where I was heartbroken, you were there helping to pick the piece back up. To the times where I just hugged you and cried, you were there. You've stayed even when I was a mess. You stayed through all the ugly times, and still thought I was an amazing person. Thank you for staying when things were hard, and coming back.

To the one I can call my best friend, thank you for being you. Thank you for all the countless laughs, tear filled nights, and dumb arguments. You mean the world to me, and I can't even begin to tell you how blessed I am to have you. You are, and will always be... My Best Friend.

Yours truly, your best friend.

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.
