Sometimes in life we fall "behind."

It's all fun and games until all your friends know what they want to do with their lives, are with that "special someone" and are experiencing more things in life than you are. Once you realize that you are the friend who has fallen behind it is SO hard to come back after that.

Trust me, I know. I'm surrounded by amazing women every day who know what their major is, know how many kids they want, have the "love of their life" with them. And, I'm just kind of there. Floating around, hoping one day I will finally be able to get my life together too.

You kinda always end up thinking way too much about how better all those around us are doing, and eventually begin to think "well, maybe I can never amount to as much as them," but you are wrong.

Just because you are experimenting with some things that others don't even have to think about doesn't mean you're not just as good as them. Times get tough, things fall through, you WILL lose some people in your life because you're just not on the same page as them. But, just because you don't have all the answers to your entire life by the time you're 18 does not, by any means, correlate to you not amounting to much in life.

Life throws some crazy curveballs, so hang on and enjoy the ride.

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.
