Why I Write

It's more than just a hobby

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to write. I would open a blank word document and just start typing. I would type whatever came to mind. This has always been something that I enjoyed doing in my free time. For a while, I thought about going to school for creative writing, but I decided not to. I didn’t want to ruin the magic of writing. I was worried that I would get sick of it. Instead, I continued to write for fun. I enjoy writing about whatever topic comes to mind, whether it be fashion, music, travel, friends, or anything else I can think of. It’s an incredible feeling and one that can turn any bad day around.

Sometimes writing can be hard. I can face writer’s block and the struggle of not having anything to write about. I can stare at a blank document for hours and still have no idea what I want to say. It always leads to a moment of panic where I worry that I have nothing to write about. But once I figure it out, it’s the best feeling. I end up being able to write something that I feel good about, something that I’m proud of, and overall something that I enjoy reading. It may be difficult at first, but it always ends up being worth it.

Writing is the perfect form of self-expression and creativity. It’s a way for me to express my thoughts and to have my voice be heard. There is something so freeing about putting my thoughts and ideas onto paper. I am able to relax and just write whatever is in my mind. It’s a way to release my mind from the stress of schoolwork.

It may not always be the easiest to just sit down and write, but it always ends up being worth it. Writing takes my mind off of school for a while and I always feel proud of the work I’ve created. I love to write and I don’t think my love for it will ever die.

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.
