Why We Must Learn To Forgive

Forgiving is for ourselves.

Why We Must Learn To Forgive

God calls us to forgive others, but why is it so hard sometimes? Why should we forgive them?

If you’re reading this article, then I am assuming you have someone in your life who has done you wrong, and you need to forgive them.

Good news!

Forgiveness isn't for the person who did you wrong, believe it or not, forgiveness is for you!

Holding on to un-forgiveness, and bitterness only damages our soul. It’s like walking day-to-day with a dead weight, and a chain around our feet. Truth is, we’re all humans, we all mess up, we all need forgiveness.

Forgiving doesn't necessarily mean forgetting.

Forgiving just means you lay that dead weight, that bitterness, and that hatred in the hands of God, and you walk away. Forgiving is the beginning of a healing process, the day you start forgiving those who have done you wrong, is the day your life becomes better.

If you walk day-to-day, holding onto that un- forgiveness, it's only hurting you, not the person who did you wrong.

Take it from someone who’s been in that position.

Forgive for yourself, and walk away from the situation. Lay it in Gods hands.

It works, I promise!

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.
