Sometimes, I wonder how you manage to handle everything that life has thrown at you. From your internal struggles to your relationship woes, I think that you are truly a saint. You have kept a smile on your face and kept your positive attitude no matter what, and I am inspired by your strength.

I know that it's not always easy for you. I know that sometimes you take your time and distance yourself because you don't want to bother anyone or because you think that you will be fine if you handle it alone... but that's not the case.

No matter what I will always be a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, someone you can vent too. You always have someone in your corner. No matter what. You're never as alone as you think you are.

You are truly inspiring.

You push your own limits and constantly work at making yourself better.

You changed my life and you might not even realize it.

You made me take my own health seriously. Physically and mentally.

You have taught me to let go of things that weren't good for me.

You have picked me up when I was at my lowest. I just hope that someday you will let me be that person for you, if I haven't started already.

You amaze me. Your life won't always be easy. It won't always be fair. Nothing will seem like it will be constant but that's what I am here for. I am your constant. I love you for everything you are. And I hope that I can help you find what you're looking for and be the person who helps you with everything you aren't.

You're a wonderful best friend. I hope someday I am able to give back half of what you have given me.

I love you

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.
