To The Person Who’s Always Had My Back

People come and go.

This statement holds both the heavy weight of knowing that almost every encounter we go through will eventually end, and the calming assurance that new people will come and fill in the gap that the old people left.

This doesn’t mean, however, that this statement is a given truth all the time because there are always those people that come and don’t go. The people that you meet, and magically end up meeting again and again and again until they end up as a constant in your life. Your paths always cross, and seeing their faces on a daily basis is just another blessing that you always remind yourself to be thankful for.

Of all the people in this world that I am really thankful for, of all the ones that supported me when I needed it the most, and when I didn’t even explicitly ask for help. Of them all, I would like to thank the person that was a shoulder to lean on from day one, the person that never doubted my potentials the smallest bit. To my little sister.

Most people look up to their older siblings for support, but I found calmness in my little sister’s words of comfort. I know that out of all the people in this world, out of all the minds and ideas, she knows me and knows how I think and what I believe in. All the conversations we shared, all the dreams and wishes we confided in each other to the point that our dreams became each other’s.

To you, I would like to say thank you. Thank you for being the person that understands my passion for living and succeeding. Thank you for being the person that knows what I’m made of, and knows that no matter what happens and what I do, I’ll always find my way to make the right decision. Thank you because even though I’m probably the person that annoys you the most, and I’m the person that never stops making fun of you, you always know that all I wish for you is good things and happiness. Thank you for being there for me because no matter what decision or choice I am about to make, you keep on being by my side, and you keep on supporting me to go ahead and follow my heart.

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.
