You Are So Important, Please Remember That

In This Article:

I am a pretty understanding of being a sad bitch. I am diagnosed with clinical depression and I take antidepressants and I do the talk therapy, and it sometimes helps. But sometimes it doesn't. The problem with fighting with your own mind is that it is incredibly difficult to try and cope with day to day. I know what it feels like to be alone and want to go away permanently.

But I argue, what if we stay? I know that the pain can be unbearable, but please know there is somebody who maybe you never met right here on this small part of the world who cares about you and thinks that you are valuable. I understand where you are at but there is so much to live for.

It breaks my heart to think about the fact that anyone would ever think they don't matter at all, because how would the world have your special spark if you aren't here? It wouldn't. You matter you are so important. Every moment you are here is a beautiful, perfect moment. I don't know if you need to hear this or not but I am so glad that you have struggled through every moment and that you are still here. It means something.

So, keep trying if not for me for yourself. Or your mom, or if you don't talk to your mother maybe your third cousin that you have a weird relationship where you only exchange memes. Stay alive for that next moment because I promise it is worth it, you are meaningful in this life or you wouldn't exist.

Recently, it has just been really hard to accept that people can feel so low and leave everyone behind. I wish I could help the people suffering consistently, it is just... really hard to see so many young lives lost to their own battle.

Please stick around, 'cause you and I can change the world but I need you here to do 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

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.
