I hear you. Loud and clear

Is all you need to be told

You feel like screaming because you aren't being heard

You feel like sleeping because there's nothing better then silence

Even in your dreams you aren't heard

In your dreams you can't escape

They are filled with nightmares and you are running down a hallway

Down this hallway you cannot leave

For everywhere you turn everyone is breathing

They are breathing down your back

You say you don't feel good enough

You are met with words that make you feel worse

All you need to hear is you are good

You are good enough

But they aren't said

You feel like running

Running

Running

Down a path you shouldn't

But what should you do

You are surrounded

Surrounded

Surrounded

You scream hear me

Hear me

Hear me

But you aren't heard

Not being heard bring so much pain

Pain flows

Flows

Flows

Throughout life you need one thing

To be told

That you are good enough

To be told without screaming

Hear me

Hear me

Hear me

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.
