“Some day I won’t be able to do this- the right time is now”- Casey Neistat

“The right time is always now,” Casey continues to remind us as he travels the world doing what he loves each day.

For what? Well- for everything.

The right time is now to get yourself moving and get on with your day.

The right time is now to do what you’ve been holding back on.

The right time is now to make your life everything you want it to be.

Why wait? Something that I’ve learned in my 20 years is that time is so precious, every second counts. Although this may sound cliché, it is so important to realize your life’s worth. To sit around and wait for life to happen is to throw away that time. Life does not come to you if you are too reluctant to get out into the world and experience it.

Many of you are millennials such as myself, which means that the perfect time to embark on life’s adventures is right now. It is a blessing that we are so capable to do whatever we want when we want to. The greatest failure in life is looking back and realizing you didn’t do anything when you had the time and capability.

The world is your oyster, you can do whatever you want whenever you want to at this very moment, and who cares what it is as long as it makes you happy?? I ask you to think about the memories you want to tell your grandchildren when you’re eighty years old. What kinds of stories do you want to pass on through generations?- The story of you lying in bed and watching Netflix throughout your twenties? Now is the time to make these the best years of your life.

I want to be the grandma that talks about the cliffs she climbed and the paths she ran and the places she traveled. These are the things I live for, the things that motivate me day to day. There is no time like the present and someday I won’t be able to do these things, so the time is always right now.

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.
