It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all

The Cost Of Loving Someone
weknowyourdreams.com

It's a feeling that almost every person seeks in the life time: love. The beauty of love is that it takes form in a variety of forms-- parental, friendship, relationship and many more. The power of loving someone and having someone love you back is an unbreakable bond-- an almost inexplicable sentiment. However, there is a cost when you love someone.

One of the most terrifying costs that comes with loving someone is the the possibility of that person being gone. The thought of someone being out of your life-- whether that be through passing away or breaking up-- is enough to shake you to your core. When you love someone, they take a piece of you whether you like it or not. They hold an inexorable bond to you.

When you love someone, tough choices become way harder. You understand that just because you love someone, it does mean you have the choice to keep them around if that's not what they want. It's what all of the cliches say, if you love someone set them free; if they're meant to come back you you, they will.

The purpose of saying all of this is not to scare anyone off from loving someone; it's more of a forewarning. You can't fully love someone unless you love yourself.

When it comes to love in a relationship, it's imperative to reach a certain maturity. Since there is so much to lose when you love someone, it's important that this is taken into account.

There is nothing more beautiful and wholesome as the feeling of loving someone.

Never let the unknown determine your actions because you could be missing out on one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life.

Yes, it's scary to love someone. There is so much to lose, but there is so much more to gain.

As they say, it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

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.
