If You've Been Looking For A Sign, This Is It

If you have realized that you have become a victim of fear and you want to change something, literally anything, but you are waiting on a sign... this is it. This is the sign to tell you to take your life back, to grab the wheel and steer yourself in whatever direction you want. This could be any decisions big or small.

Want to cut your hair? Do it. Want to buy clothes? Do it. Want to change your major? Do it. Want to end a relationship or friendship? Do it.

Life is way way too short and way too precious to waste your days being anything less than happy or asking yourself a million 'what-ifs?' Forget the what-ifs and just do it. You can not plan for every single reaction of a decision you make and you will know what to do when it comes. If you have been contemplating making a decision for a while but you keep coming up with excuses, that is the fear and you must ignore and overcome it. If this is a decision you can not stop thinking about this is a sign that your heart wants it and you just have to build up the courage to do it.

You truly never know what will happen next— a decision you make could be the best decision of your life and bring you the happiness that you ever thought you needed but you will never know unless you just do it. I'm telling you to look fear in the eyes and do what scares you most. You deserve a life of joy instead of misery. Take the chance and change your life, it is so worth it.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
