How To Successfully Become Who You Want To Be

Who are you? Who do you want to be? The questions everyone asks themselves in order to become a functioning person in this world. The first step is canceling out all the people in your life that enable you to blossom. By distancing your mind from negativity you can have room to grow yourself. Even so, you can keep these people in your life if you can grow from them by being stronger than the negative suppressions that come along with it. Most people do not know who they are, and this can hold you back from finding out yourself as well. Here are some quick tips that helped me find more about my place in this world:

1. Find your hobbies, talents, passions in this world to make you feel like you have a purpose

Whether it's golfing, playing cards or simply being outside, everyone has something that makes them feel interested and insightful. These activities should stay close to you.

2. Surround yourself with good people

A positive environment is so important. Keep a close group of people that make you feel truly happy. Have things in common, or different characteristics that will balance each other out and even improve yourself and your weaknesses.

3. Be motivated and sure of yourself

Stop doubting yourself and go for your goals and dreams. The whole concept of becoming the person you want to be only can come if you have the motivation and confidence to make and create your life and self accurately.

4. Don’t hesitate, always keep going

I've learned that if you stop, pause, or hesitate in your uphill self-creation it can mess up the entire cycle. Going backward, or hitting lows in life are all real things if you allow it. Don’t allow these obstacles to come in your life, keep fighting and give life a run for its money. Keep pushing the uphill battle until your feel secure.

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.
