You Can

A poem to inspire you to just go for it

You Can

It’s interesting

The fact that my

Acquired learning

Only now comes into play

Why now


Before would have

Benefitted for my future

Gotten me to a higher place

But I guess it wasn’t meant

That way


I had to go through

The pain to get to the light

And even though

It’s still present

I know I’ll be okay


With grace and confidence

Look at me now

Standing tall over towers

Remember when I was weak?

I’m ready to run


I can take you down

With a single puff of air

Won’t let anyone in my path

Won’t stop till the end


I’m not exactly arrogant

Nor am I naïve

People think what they want

But I believe in myself


I strive to be great

And I become even better

I achieve every goal

I’ve ever tried to acquire


You can’t go to the top

Without starting at the bottom

My message is out

Hoping everyone gets me


Look yourself in the mirror

And be honest

You know you can do this

You just need to believe


You are strong and powerful

Graceful and intelligent

You just need a little push

So here it is, go for it

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

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.
