To Those Struggling With College And Wanting To Give Up

There will be times where you just can't do it anymore. Some days where you don't want to get out of bed or days where you just can't stop crying. You feel like you don't understand anything you are trying so hard to learn and nobody really knows what you're going through besides the classmates you've made in your class. Some days you may even want to change your major and give up.

You will miss out on so many things. Time with family will be shorter as you spend more time on school, you may even go months without seeing your friends. Times you miss out on family events, girls night, or even time to just relax for yourself. You'll have people doubting you, saying you can't do this. People will be rude and hard to make happy no matter what you do. There will be professors who just seem to want to make this the hardest thing you'll ever have to do. You'll want to leave class and bang your head on a wall or just sit there and cry.There will be tests you fail. Even the ones you study so hard for and think you actually understand it. Some test you just try your best because you've been working so much that you barely had time to study. There will be less smiles as you continue in school.

But you'll get through it. You've put too much time and effort into it to just give up so easily. It may not seem easy to just give it up but it is because you are giving up on your dreams and your future. You either continue or you fail. Even if you do fail, you still continue to do your best. Just don't give up.You wanted this so bad, you found something you love and would continue to love even as a career. People would kill to be able to do what you are doing. You'll have some people who bring out the best in every day and push you to do your best and be your best at all times.

Don't give up on something you find passion in just because it's hard right now. Nothing worth it in life ever comes easy. Just know you are making a difference in what you are doing and nothing can take that away from you.

You will make your parents so proud knowing you've accomplished on of your goals. You'll have your best friends standing by your side through everything. Your significant other will always be there to support you no matter what. All of these people will be shouting your name as you walk across that stage, getting the degree you've been dreaming about for so long now. Finally being where you want to be with all your accomplishments that finally paid off.

Studying every second possible and focusing on school isn't a struggle. Some things you should be willing to give up for this because it's bettering yourself and your future. Always remember that it's your life and be proud of how far you've come, even if you still have a while to go. At the end; everything will be worth it.

Remember the tassle is worth the hassle!!

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
