The Liberty to Fail

....a hidden treasure

The Liberty to Fail
Onehdwallpaper

The regulations of this society are truly terrifying.

We humans are subjugated to a world of...

Precision

Balance,

and Cadence.

We act for desires so far ahead of our lifetimes.

Yet we never know if we will live to see the day.

So to find life in this esoteric world...

we must find appreciation.

To view each letter as a star.

Each sentence as a sequence.

The sky begins to reflect on our papers

Our Essays, constellations.

Truly the sky's mirror.

It is when we look to the stars, we are surrounded by fascination.

It is truly one of life's greatest treasures.

It comes as it wishes,like the wind.

Never visible, only felt and heard.

Through the wind, we give the voice a physical [presecence.

It is the kind that defies gravity...floating.

We view it as its own.

Ignoring the constraints of this universe.

So when we become the wind, we are set free.

We realized that when we fail

We are only breaking the forces of this life.

So to live life without constraints, we appear to defy gravity.

Like that of a penguin who swims underwater, floating in its depths, with reason.

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.
