I Can't Wait Until My Generation Runs The Country

I am not at all afraid for my generation to take over political roles to represent us as a country, as states, and as people. I have an unmatched trust in my peers who will become educators because I believe they will teach not only out of the book but also lessons like inclusivity, kindness, and generosity. I believe in the nurses and doctors who will treat each patient not only with their knowledge but with fairness and a kind and understanding heart.

We are the generation that is going to turn everything around.

We are the ones who will make the changes. We've seen and experienced too much brutality and unfairness to still have cold hearts. We are now warm toward the people and ideas we were lead to hate and disapprove of. My generation took the opportunity to finally see people as people and allowed them to be who they wanted to be.

We are the ones who have best friends who are immigrants.

We are the ones whose significant others are a different race or ethnicity.

We are the ones whose siblings are apart of the LGBTQ community.

We are the ones who are traveling the world and want to learn more about other cultures and countries.

We are the ones who created bonds instead of burning bridges.

We are the ones who support, uplift, and empower one another.

We are the ones with open minds and understanding hearts.

The world is about to be brighter, and my generation will lead us there.

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.
