She Knew Too Much

Please try to understand-- She wasn't always like this and you did nothing wrong. You see, she was made to believe that being human made her difficult to love. She was called crazy for feeling deeply, crying, and having panic attacks--teaching her to stay on her own because overtime she had learned that letting people get too close would only lead to an inevitable ending:

Goodbyes, followed by her shortness of breath and dull stabbing pains in her chest; her holding back tears and gasping for air.

When she learned to thrive on her own, she was caught off guard-- no one warned her that this power was a double edged sword-- that being "Chill" meant feeling so detached. She found herself going through the motions of everyday life-- eyes closed, but her hands were reaching out, searching for the ability to feel again.

At the end of the day she found the bed dressed in sheets made up of 80%- nothing seriousness and 20%- cotton. She became the girl who could sleep with someone and never speak to them again because that's how relationships that begin with sex were supposed to end.

If you see her today, she walks with her head held high and her eyes straight ahead. Avoiding contact because she won't give up control of her feelings. She would rather pretend nothing happened because heartbreak is a high price for knowledge and she's not sure how much more she can afford.

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.
