Rich Dad Poor Dad By Robert Kiyosaki is a must read for every entrepreneur and investor!

The reason this book is a must read is because this book explains that there is always a different outlook upon life and money; it displays to the reader that the normal societal path to success is not the only way to become financially stable.

Kiyosaki shows readers that he had a rich dad (his friend's father) and a poor dad his biological father). Robert explained that his rich dad did not finish the 8th grade and that his poor dad received his master's degree. What distinguished his rich dad from his poor day is the way the rich dad thought and went about his life financially; his rich dad believed in leveraging and believed there is a way to afford anything you may desire.

This lesson is the greatest of all because as an aspiring entrepreneur you have to think outside of the box and create paths in order to attain your vision.

With society pressuring students to further their education and get internships, entrepreneurs think very differently from this and that's why this book is fantastic!

Rich Dad Poor Dad encourages entrepreneurs to follow their vision and to not allow the average societal path to cause them to not follow their dream.

This book also exhibits the way how business owners think compared to the people who do not own a business. It shows that many individuals who work a typical 9-5 job depend on pensions, 401Ks, and retirement benefits from the company they work for.

These individuals are technically putting their whole future in the hands of a company that they worked for, for many years!

This book teaches that it's okay to be different and do not follow what your teachers, mentors, or parent may want for you; because at the end of the day your future is in your hands and you determine how you would like it to look.

I would like to conclude that investing in a copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad By Robert Kiyosaki is an amazing investment not just for yourself, but also for your future!

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

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.
