A Letter To My Future Self

Hi, I hope you're doing great.

A Letter To My Future Self

I am writing this letter to remind you of the little, yet important things you love to do. Waking up first thing in the morning and letting the pups out, drinking iced coffee and laughing with your best friends, and going out on little walks around the block. Are you still doing these things? Are you taking care of yourself? Most importantly, are you happy? I know, that's a tough question but are you?

Happiness to me now is the feeling you get when you are standing on the top of a rock looking at the beautiful world God gave us. How do you feel about that and what is your definition now?

I hope that you find time to appreciate those little things, I hope that you are pushing yourself to get where you want to be, and I hope that you never stop. Have you? Please, never stop pursuing happiness. Push yourself to be the best you can be and then more.

What lessons have you learned? I wouldn't be surprised if the many years of schooling didn't prepare you for what life is actually like. This year alone I've learned to expect the unexpected (thanks covid). By the way, is the pandemic over? Who's President? Here's a good one, are you President? I know it'd have to be 20 years in the future for that to happen, but are you on the right track?

For real, how hard are you working and pushing? I hope that you never lost that determination and drive.

Final question, do you love yourself and are you as confident as you manifested to be? It gets easier right?

I'll leave you with this piece of advice, never stop learning, never stop caring, never stop working, never stop loving, and lastly, never stop being you.

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.
