Questions

There are a lot of questions that pop up in our minds every now and then, and some of them simply remain unanswered. It makes it hard to really understand the universe and who we are, but it also gives us an amazing insight into the different ways of thinking.

  1. What exactly does it mean to live a good life? What is "good" to you, and how does that compare to those around you?
  2. If we are all so different, why do we have these ideal ways of living? Why are we conforming to this societal structure so naturally?
  3. What is right or wrong? How do we distinguish what is the exemplary choice in controversial issues?
  4. How do you think the human species will go extinct?
  5. How does our mind come up with some of the random/crazy dreams we have?
  6. What kind of creatures are out there that we have not discovered?
  7. Is there an ideal reality out in the universe?
  8. What are the chances of finding our one true soulmate?
  9. Would you want to know how/when you were going to die?
  10. If you had three wishes, what would it be?


Reality

Reality is not something we can always have a tight grasp on. There are a lot of things that make us sit there and really think about the reality we live in, and it is fascinating to acknowledge the aspects of reality that we do not always think about.

  1. We have been dying since the day we were born.
  2. We have not explored over 80% of the ocean.
  3. We cannot picture how big the universe is.
  4. Our mind cannot make up things we have not seen (ex: colors)
  5. Time is nature's way of making sure everything does not happen at the same time.
  6. Our unconscious works faster than our thoughts when it comes to doing everyday actions.
  7. Everything we create in this world has a predetermined purpose.
  8. There is other life out there in the universe that we have not discovered.
  9. On Saturn and Jupiter, it rains diamonds.
  10. You cannot remember more than ten showers you have had.

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

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.
