Think about all the people who love you.

With season two of Thirteen Reasons Why being released this past month, it has started a conversation.

It has triggered many, and it has opened the discussion of suicide, mental illness, bullying, sexual assault and so many other things up that are all too common in today’s society.

While Hannah Baker had “thirteen reasons why” and recorded those tapes before taking her own life, there are hundreds of reasons why not to commit suicide.

I was intrigued by the last episode of season two, when Mrs. Baker gives Clay, Hannah’s why not list.

This is for anyone struggling, anyone who is thinking of taking their own life and all the reasons that they should.

Stop, and think about all the reasons why not to take your own life.
Think about all the people who love you.
Think about your future, the life you have yet to live.

There are so many more reasons why not to, then why too.

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
