To The People That Just Don't Know

We all are facing something we think is bigger then us

To The People That  Just Don't Know

This is for the people that spend their days just going through the motions. For the ones that agree to whatever people say not because they don't care but because they don't have a opinion of their own about the topic in question. For the ones the spend nights wide awake in anxiety attacks because they see others around them finding what they want from life. This is for the ones that are in a constant state of not knowing.

Trust me I know where you're at because I'm there too. Some days I think, "Okay so this is going to work" and others it's like I'm a Target cashier on black Friday; complete chaos. I guess this typical with senior year starting in a month (how??). Trying to narrow down colleges and finding the one college that is going to allow me to go the farthest with my career interest, which I decided to change within the last year.

This is isn't going to be a rant about my crisis, because I'm not the only one facing something. We all are facing something we think is bigger then us.

Those nights when you stay up until four the next morning because you are just so stressed out everything going on in your life; work, family, friends, future. It's all in your head. Our mind has this thing of playing a dirty tricks on us and makes us believe that everything we see or hear is fifteen times worse then what it actually is. Nothing is ever really as bad as it seems.

So you've out of touch with the people around you lately. Doesn't mean you are going to end up living alone in studio apartment with nine cats to keep you company your whole life. So you feel like your spending your whole life doing the same things day after day. Doesn't mean your life won't change one day.

For most people the live and do the exact same thing, in the same town, for eighteen years and then suddenly they are thrown into a completely different world.

So don't worry your chance is coming, be patient. Enjoy the time you have before it happens because you never know when it's coming. Whether it's tomorrow or a year from now, make sure you aren't wasting your time stressing out over what will happen or when it will happen. Live in the moment and don't take the small things for granted.

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.
