Dear Me,

Happy 2019! A new year, a blank page. 2018 was so good to you! From spring breaking in Costa Rica, competing in your last dance competition, attending your last prom, dancing in your last recital, graduating high school, traveling to Los Angeles for the first time, moving into your college dorm, starting to teach your own dance classes, watching your sister get married, and finishing your first semester of college. Whew! What a year. As this new year begins you're setting all sorts of goals and aspirations for yourself. I'd like you to enforce a few different main ideas this year in hopes that you'll achieve all you want to do. Here they are...

1. Believe in yourself 

Everyone is always saying to set attainable goals for yourself so you’re not disappointed etc. That’s great and all, but don’t be scared by your big goals and aspirations that are going to take lots of work. Dream big, believe you can and will do it, and work hard.

2. Stay focused

Keep everything in sight and always think about the bigger picture. Live in the moment as much as possible, but don’t forget to keep your eyes on what you really want by the end of the year.

3. Spread so much love 

Be kinder than you’ve ever been. Keep a wide open mind, and love the people in your life endlessly. Make more people smile and never forget to be empathetic.

4. Live your best life

You only have one life, and who knows how many years.

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.
