I realized that I have power in this world, a power that is unfounded by anyone else: I am a writer.

I get to express myself and put emphasis on me and my story

Born to an untroubled past, I find it hard to get anyone to listen to me properly. I envy people who have had hardships in the past, how their character has grown and changed over time. Then, I realized something: I can live vicariously through other people, treating people as if I have lived with them. Not only does this secure me as an empath, as I am able to understand other people's hardships and feelings, but this gives me character development. I am able to adapt other's perspectives as my own. Not only does this give other people meaning within my worldview, but it also creates these people as my worldview.

I learned to let go and write

I found myself troubled and alone in this world, I had nothing to grasp. My life is just too perfect for this horrible and cruel world. With this perfection that I possess, I decided long ago that I would become a famous writer. I can't just become a lowly writer, I must become famous as I need to impact as many numbers as I can. I have made so many friends these past few years, and using their stories in my writing creates a flavorful combination of words that attract many different types of readers. I need to appeal to multiple people at a time.

Writing has given me a special privilege in this world

As a writer, I receive little to no financial support (besides the checks in the mail that my parents send me every semester), so, in lieu of an income, I expect the world do me favors. I know there is a God out there, and since I am writing scripture, He will bend the free will of others in order to give me convenience. No one truly knows how important my influence on this world will get.

The objectification, the materialism of my work cements it as a true work of art. I am a product of my time, and I will produce as much as possible in order to make a deadline. I will get my head start in any way possible, even if I have to post on a predatory forum.

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.

two women enjoying confetti

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.
