Don't let someone else's opinion of you become your reality. -Les Brown

How many times have we allowed ourselves to be swayed by other people's perceptions of ourselves or others? Life is about figuring out who we are and what role we play in a life we are living. If you allow a person's opinion become your reality, then how will you know who you are for yourself?


Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. -Eleanor Roosevelt

Let's elevate our thinking and the way we talk about ideas, events, and people. Sure, it is easy about the Kardashians or criticise our current administration. But how many of us are elevating ourselves by talking about IDEAS? Ideas bring forth progress, inventions, and different opinions and perspectives.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain. -Vivian Greene

It's easy to get bogged down by the sad and depressing things in our lives. Though, how often do we look at the bigger picture? When you learn to look at the bright side and try to figure out alternate solutions, no hurdle seems too great.

Just Remember: The people that say, 'your dreams are impossible' have already quit on theirs. -Grant Cardone

Always follow your heart. If it is feasible for you to make your dreams a reality, then go for it. The naysayers will always have something negative to say.

Well-behaved women rarely make history. -Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

This is one of my favorites because women around the world really need to step out the conventional roles society has placed on us and speak up. If making a bit of noise gets things done, then so be it.

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.
