Friendship is a beautiful thing, isn't it? Being able to have that person who you go to, confide in, and love. I never felt so close to another human being ever in my life, and I am grateful for the many memories that we shared. When you find someone who understands you completely and loves you despite your flaws, that's something that you do not let go of. I never imagined life without you and even though you had imperfections, I never walked away from you. Not once. But, it appeared that the friendship was one-sided since you condemned me for mine. My honesty; my bluntness. I said the things that you didn't want to hear. The things you didn't want to accept. I guess you couldn't handle that. At the end of the day, I was only trying to help you do better. I did all of those things out of love.

I cared for you more than anyone else ever did, but you didn't see that. All of your rough relationships, I was the one that was there to talk to and comfort you. When you were crying over your depression or your struggles, I was there to love you. In your darkest times, I tried to be your light. To guide you, to make you feel safe. I wanted you to feel important.

Maybe I should have been more tender with you. Perhaps I should have just hidden my inner feelings. But, in my eyes, that's not being a true friend. Friendship is honest, friendship is raw, and I refuse to sugar coat things. There are times to be delicate, but I believe that there are times where you need to be blunt with the things you say. Maybe this makes me an awful person, who knows.

Someday, I will find a friend who appreciates my honesty, as well as my love. And maybe one day, you will look back and realize exactly what you lost. I am not begging you to come back, nor do I expect you to, but you need to see this through my eyes. That is all I really want. I guess when it comes down to it, it doesn't really matter.

So, you have gone your way and I have gone mine. Looking at you now, it's almost like looking at a stranger. It just goes to show that there's a fine line between love and hate. I knew the moment it all came crashing down, that there was no turning back. With the passing of time, I have become okay with that. At the end of the day, I do want to see you happy and successful and I want you to find a best friend that better suits you as a person. You will do great in life and I wish you the best of luck in your future. Even though I will not be a part of it.

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.
