To The Boy I Should Have Listened To

You may think all you have said to me never made a difference, but it did.

Dear the boy whom I should have listened to,

You were right. About everything. I am not happy where I am at in my current relationship. I go day by day being constantly unhappy about a multiple of things and continue to remember everything you said to me.

You saw that I was not happy with my relationship. You saw that he was not treating me in the best of ways. You saw more things at that time (and it is still continuing), than I did. I kept telling myself that everything was okay and that everything would continue to be okay and that I was not hurting, that it was just a way of life. And the biggest thing, that I was okay. You saw all of these things that i was not able to see myself. Thank you.

I am currently going day by day just tolerating everything until I am able to leave in the near future. I have thought about things for quite a while now and have came to the conclusion that the only way to be happy is to leave this place to get away from it. It is the only way I can end any of it.

Maybe things would have been better if I listened to you then, however I don't believe I was ready in my thought process or for the rest when you pointed everything out to me. But I do, believe it or not, go day by day regretting I could and would have done something different.

I guess the point of this letter is to thank you. I thank you for opening my eyes and realizing what was in front of me. Thank you for making me smile and laugh when I needed it the most. I will never forget what you have said to me because it truly has made a difference.

My one last thought for you. I now hope you are happy where you are at in your life. All I can do now is wish you the best as you have continued to do for me. Thank you again.

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.
