Steps of Letting Go

Remember that thing that always bothers you? Forget it!

Steps of Letting Go
youtube

The funny thing about letting go is that it can apply to everything whether that is letting go of a boy or girl, letting go of something that made you mad or sad, or letting go of a memory that is either driving you insane or does no good for you any more. Letting go is a step in living a happy life. Happy life as in getting rid of the little tiny things that bother you that do not even apply to your life anymore.

1. Find something else to worry your mind with or think about. Because most the time you are letting things bother you it is probably because you are thinking too hard or too much about it.

2. Give it time. All things fade in time and it is true, but at the same time you have to let things go as well. The things that bother you, remind yourself that they shouldn't bother you.

3. Find a hobby. Make yourself completely utterly busy with something else that you don't even bother yourself with thinking of what you're trying to forget.

4. Accept the fact that you will not completely forget, just accept that and you'll realize that in time things won't bother you anymore. You'll slowly learn to forget the way you felt in his or her arms, the stupid thing you said, or those awful memories.

5. Learn from whatever you're trying to let go of. If there is something good to come out of whatever happened, learn from it so it does not happen again. Accept what has happened and learn from whatever mistakes occured or whatever there is to learn or gain out of the experience.

Everyone has something going on in their life and it is important to take that and grow from it. It may suck no and it will probably suck tomorrow, but maybe a month from now the storm will have passed and everything will be better. So learn and grow and be the best person possible so you can move on from those troubles and never worry of them again. Remember no matter your past you're amazing as long as you keep learning.

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.
