A Quote That Inspires Me To Chase My Dreams
We Heart it

My laptop is literally like Hoarders: Buried Alive;

I think I can call myself a bit of a hoarder in that aspect because I've had my current laptop since I was a freshman in college (I'm currently a senior), and I've collected a fair share of files. I was cleaning my files on my laptops like old papers and such and I stumbled across a piece of writing from like 5 years ago. I mean I was like 16 about five years ago so how that got on my laptop is a complete mystery to me to this very day.

I assumed by the quote on top of the writing was what inspired to write this short inquistive piece. But it's not just the quote that just inspired me recently, it's what I wrote underneath the quote. In a way, it's a short story but in other ways it's just something to think about when you're out there making big life decisions.

I'm pretty sure i'll be using this whenever I need some sort of insight. I'll have to hand it to myself I was actually pretty wise.

"Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?"

- Rose Kennedy

Did you know after a storm that birds sing? Each bird has a different rhythmic tune to sing and every song has a different meaning that makes it special. Perhaps humans should have their own little song to sing after a storm like a carefree bird.

But humans aren't like birds. We as humans are tethered down to something that holds us back from doing what we really want to pursue in life. Birds are free to do as they please. Nothing holds them back from doing what they want. What holds us back from doing that one thing to make us truly happy?

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.
