You've been through heartache recently, and maybe not recently, but you still feel it like it was yesterday, or maybe you only feel like it was on the bad days, but I'm here to tell you that it's OK.

You are allowed to feel however you do, and today, I'm just here to help you through that.

I'm sure you've heard a handful of times before, by a handful of other people, but love will come again. You will pick yourself up, brush the dust off of your shoulders and start to put your pieces back together again.

You will go days where you feel sad, angry, frustrated and disappointed that things didn't work, but you have to remember why they didn't work, to begin with.

You have to remember that you deserve nothing but to be infinitely happy today and for the rest of your life. You deserve nothing but endless, flowing love that makes your heart full, that makes you smile uncontrollably for absolutely no other reason than that you feel loved, and you feel happy.

You deserve to wake up and remember that this is your life and this life is what you make of it.

Breathe through the bad days, cry through them, scream through them and sing, dance, laugh and love through the good ones.

We have to remember that we lose people, and then we find new ones. That's how it works, and this is all part of your life plan.

The moon orchestrates our nights and tides, and if that isn't the best metaphor for our lives and the plan the universe has for us, then I don't know what is.

So, I leave you with this advice today — you are going to be OK. Your heart might be broken, but you are not. You will heal, and you will forget about the boy who broke your heart over the smallest fight you've ever had. You will forget the pain; you will forget the bad days.

You will be better for this, although it will feel worse before it gets better. And I will not lie to you; it will feel worse before it feels better.

Breathe and enjoy today. You will find someone, and you will love again. You will find someone who will love you the way you need and deserve to be.

So, go on, get out there and live your life. Right now, in this moment, you are the youngest you are ever going to be again.

Love will come again, and with each relationship, it will get better.

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.
