This year will be different

I will accomplish my goals

And conquer all obstacles that come my way

Even if those obstacles prove to be a challenge

This year will be different

I will not allow people to take from me

I will not allow those who have bad intentions rob me this year

This year is about proving that I am stronger

This year I will realize

That people are in my life for a reason

I should not dwell on those whom do not want to be in it

It is for the best if they chose another side than my own

I have already realized that it is better this way

Now I just need to accept it

This year I will see

The opportunities that have come my way

And take pride in the work that has come from it

My work this year will help me with my future

I will be able to grow using the information

In 2017, life will have twists and turns

But they are lessons

Willing to be learned

Challenges are a part of life

Those challenges will bring change

This year will be different

And I am proud of the years’ past

They have shaped me

Just as 2017 will shape me

I promise you that no matter how hard the years past have been

They prepared you for this year

I am open-minded for the challenges ahead

In 2017, life will change

It will be for the best

I will be a better me

This year will be different

The realization of the upcoming year will be different

2017, this year will be different

Because I am different

Because I am stronger

Because I am still growing

Because I am me

And I can change when life gets tough

Letter To My High School Friend Group

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
