"Rethinking"

"But we are nothing more than souls trapped within bodies."

We had no choice in what life in which we were conceived in

Born into a world where we're forced to make split second decisions that we never believed in

We view life as an overall existence

By the correlations through the indications decipher the differences between reality and just point of view

Because life was never about me and it was certainly never about you

But we're all just different beings

Set out on a path to explore an uncertain destiny

Hoping that the power of the universe has enough power to guide us to the places we hoped to be

Hoping to find what we've wanted to see

But we are nothing more than souls trapped within bodies

But when our bodies begin to decay all we'll have left are memories

Because when our body's struggle to stay alive

Our souls will continue to strive

And our souls will then begin to survive

Because we can see the beauty hidden behind one another's eyes

While breaking in the callouses that formed while digging through each other lies

But we reach the bottom and it was just another object we didn't want to find

We are all just living on this earth

As a pointless existence trying to discover our own self worth

And as the curses begin to surface

We begin to discover who we are as a person

A species that created time to fortify our presence

Because we live in the moment but only exist in the present

Everything that our souls have had the ability to explore

Is what we've pushed our bodies through hell in order to endure

Because life is just a bunch of stepping stones

Thrown out carelessly by people we've come to know

While we struggle to maneuver our way down this rocky road

We learn that we were blessed with the ability to breath

And cursed with the ability to see

The presence that was lurking deep down underneath

And we found what we wanted to find

Because our souls will continue to survive

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.
