The Inner Child In Us

You're Never Too Old.

When's the last time you thought about your age? You may be a middle-aged man; you may be an 80 year old woman. Maybe you're a simple college student trying to find your place. Let's all think back to when we were teenagers.

Ah, puberty... a time when we were all probably trying to act older than we truly were.

Rewind farther... Childhood... what purity. Has the nostalgia hit you yet? The excitement of eating a candy? The pride of your new toy? The simplicity of friends and classmates...

What about that unawareness of worldly struggles? That's what I miss.

Now stop.

There's no point thinking about how much we may miss the naivety of out child-selves. It's time to do something about it.

You are never too old to have fun. You are never too stressed to return to the area of such happy memories... and make more.

Embrace your inner child.

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?

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
