To the Girl Who Never Feels Like She's Enough
Like Success

We've all been there. We are going about our normal lives feeling confident as ever until that one thing appears that makes everything you've ever believed in crumble. That thing is called self doubt and it's capable of crippling even the strongest person.

It can be anything. A bad grade, a snobby friend, a rude comment, a boy.

These things sneak into our lives and then suddenly we feel like we are never going to be good enough. It's hard. It's really hard, and we walk around with this feeling every day. The words "you can't do that" or "he's too good for you" repeats in your head over and over. You don't think you are beautiful or smart anymore. This isn't something that goes away,

To every girl who has felt these insecurities, let me tell you that you are good enough and you are not alone. Do not let these fears and doubts become your undoing, although I know how hard that is. Do not waste your precious time and effort trying to put together broken glass that is too far gone.

Remember that if a boy ever makes you feel small, he is the one who is not good enough.

Remember that grades do not control you or define the quality person that you are.

Remember that every rude comment is just someone else's insecurities and they should not control you.

Remember that you are beautiful and strong and don't need anyone to make you feel that way. Never question your self worth because you are good enough. Try to surround yourself in positivity and get rid of any negative. Life is short. You should not spend it on little worries and self doubt. Stop worrying about what people think about you and focus on yourself. ou deserve that much.

Sincerely,

A girl who knows what it's like to feel like she's not good enough

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.
