Some days are awesome and some days are what feel like the worst day of our lives. No matter what the reason is for your sucky day, there are some tips/tricks to turn your day around.

1. Wake up and write

I have personally discovered that waking up in the morning and writing in my journal has motivated me to have a great day right off the bat. Whether you are writing down what you are thankful for, your goals/accomplishments, or your to-do list, this will set your day up in a positive way.

2. Make breakfast

This is a tip that many people have heard others say before. Not only does breakfast help you start your day in a healthy and satisfied way, but it does not leave you HANGRY. Trust me, being hungry is not how you want to start your day and usually when you start your day feeling hungry, it is hard to turn that around. So set your alarm clocks earlier than usual or make breakfast the night before so that way you can just heat it up quick and easy.

3. Turn up that music


Driving to school, work, social events, meetings and millions of more things can be a drag. No one wants to sit in a car for hours every day dealing with rude people beeping and flicking us the finger. Instead of making a daily ritual something to complain about, try and enjoy the "you" time that you get while being behind the wheel. I have found that making a playlist for my car ridges makes me enjoy driving that much more and keeps my day on a positive note.

4. Treat yourself

Throughout the day we can get so distracted with our schedule that we forget to take care of yourselves. I have found that treating myself with little pleasures that make me happy no matter how big or small, like getting coffee for example, keep my day shining bright.


5. Get up and move

Not only is excising great for your health and body, but it is amazing for your mental health as well! Exercising allows all of those endorphins to release which literally causes people to be happier. No matter how long/what exercise you chose to do, your body and mind will thank you for it. Starting your day or ending your day with this will help your day start/end on a positive note!

6. Find "YOU" time

The last and final tip for having a positive day is to find time for yourself. You have worked hard all day and its time to reward yourself with the love and attention you need. So pop open that bottle of wine, take a bath, binge-watch netflix, and enjoy YOU time.

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.
