Paramore is more than just a band. At least to their fans, Paramore is basically a way of life. Being one of the most dedicated group of fans means that not only do people know their lyrics, people live by them. This may just be me but I hope I'm not alone when I say, I would not be who I am without this band behind me.

1. "I am finding out that maybe I was wrong, That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone"

This lyric reminds me that it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to ask for help and it's okay to rely on other people. Being an extremely stubborn person is part of the reason I love Paramore so much. They're a band that's all about being strong. This lyric, however, is a gentler lyric that always calms me down and reminds that it's okay to admit that I am wrong and look for guidance in others.

2. "This heart will start a riot in me"

From their song, "That's What You Get," this lyric and this entire song helps me accept that life sucks and gets me excited to bounce back. The entire song is a jam that allows people to belt out their emotions and let them go. This one little lyric shows that no matter how angry a person is, they will, with time, be able to move on and change the issues that they have in their life.

3. "And in the free fall I will realize, I'm better off when I hit the bottom"

This lyric is possibly my favorite lyric of all time. Sometimes things happen that you cannot control. Life gets the better of you. And when you're going though that time, it feels like it's never going to get better. It also feels like life is spiraling and everything that use to be amazing, isn't anymore. Those moments are when I look to this line. The terrible things that keep happening are going to end. Once you hit that bottom, the only place you can go is up. On the way down, it feels like life will never be okay again but hitting that final point means the worst is over and it's time to rebuild. Though dark, this is one of Paramore's most inspirational lyrics.

4. "See, I'm trying to find my place, But it might not be here where I feel safe"

"Misguided Ghosts" is one of the most beautifully written songs of all time. This lyric is so important to me because growing up and moving on is extremely difficult. Being in college, change is a daily part of life. College is all about figuring out who you are and who you want to be, but that is not an easy task. Finding yourself is uncomfortable and challenging because it involves so not so fun times. In order to learn and grow, mistakes have to be made. You have to get out of your comfort zone and this line reminds of just how crucial that part of life is.

5. "And the salt in my wounds isn't burning anymore than it used to, It's not that I don't feel the pain, It's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore"

From the song "Last Hope" off of Paramore's newest album, this lyric is so inspirational. "Last Hope" as an entire song makes me feel like everything is going to be okay. Throughout the song, the lyrics explain just how important having any hope is. Even if it's a tiny amount, it's enough to drive you to do anything. This lyric specifically just shows how important it is to accept what's happened to you and not be afraid of it. Life is about taking risks and coming to terms with what comes with those risks. Life isn't about hiding what hurts us or ignoring it. It's about facing it head on and becoming stronger in the long run. "Last Hope" can bring us out of your darkest moments by reminding us that things happen that are out of our control and it is our job to remember the things that have kept us going for so long.

Here are some more lines in case you need more inspiration:

"Somehow everything's gonna fall right into place " - "Hallelujah"

"Somewhere weakness is our strength, and I'll die searching for it" — "Let The Flames Begin"

"The truth never set me free so I did it myself" — "Careful"

"You don't deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is you" — "Playing God"

"Maybe I'm not perfect, at least, I'm working on it" — "Hello Cold World"

"Don't get lost in the memories. Keep your eyes on a new prize" — "Future"

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

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.
