When It's Too Hot To Handle

You just have to remember...

When It's Too Hot To Handle
Serious Seats

It is funny the way we get caught up in the moment.

We try to view ourselves as beings with power.

"Gods perfection creation..."

I love how God has so many variations of "perfect".

It puts our behaviors at best.....imperfect.

Irrational even.

Imagine the following:

Hypothesis: If irrationality and intelligence are applied to an organism, they will conclude they are rational beings due to intelligence, ultimately ignoring their irrationality.

What an experiment that would be!

An intelligent organism

One that rises about the rest.

And as it becomes even more developed....

I can only imagine the distinction they of themselves to other organisms.

It is what Elliot Aronson refers to as Cognitive Dissonance.

To only accept the favorable knowledge suitable for their cause....

These intelligence organisms are surely falling into a pitfall.

They continue to accept what is necessary, never what is essential.

So how will these passionate irrational social animals realize their dissonance?

It may be the greatest dilemma of this time!

I truly believe the majority would take an eternity to realize.

If these beings truly are intelligent and rational....

Wouldn't their behavior be predicted?

They would live in a society where everything is predicted exactly...

Yet they do not,

So they deny their irrationality.....becoming "rational" in the moment.

Yet those who realized their moments as happily unpredicted...

they find irrationality as happiness at its core.

They look to all scenarios...

only to realize they will never now what comes next.

For they never know what an unpromised tomorrow can bring.

So to look into those terrifying moments and remember.

They are only there for a brief time.

They find their irraitonality....becoming the truly intellgent.

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.

two women enjoying confetti

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.
