Sometimes You Struggle And That's OK

I'm not exactly "thriving" right now, but I will be soon.

Sometimes You Struggle And That's OK

I do not know exactly what is going on with me right now but I do know that I can work through it. I have been sleeping a lot, not doing my work as much as I should. You know, the normal stuff that happens when the days start getting shorter. I know that I need to get it together but it is easier said than done. I have done it before though so I am not really worried about it.

I just need to get some motivation back. I always have enough motivation to get my school work done and do it well because I have too much anxiety to not do it well. All I did today was sleep and sometimes you need to do that but I probably did not. I need to continue to hang out with people and just leave the house in general. I would feel so much better if I just did not isolate myself. I do have really amazing friends that help me through that (although they won't buy me ice cream because all of us are SO broke).

I think I miss my friends a lot. I have not seen them since the summer which really sucks. We do text and snapchat daily but it is not the same. I also feel left out sometimes because they go to school back home so they get to see each other like way more than they see me because I live three hours away. I can not wait to see them over Thanksgiving break because I miss them so much. I am literally going to make them hang out with me almost constantly. This was supposed to be about how I am not at my best right not but I am going to get there. I will. I just need to get it together and deal with my stress in better ways because my answer should not always be sleeping and Youtube videos. I will get better and I will see my friends soon and I will soon be thriving again.

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.
