My grandma has always told me music is the gateway to a persons heart. Considering the fact that she grew up listening to Frank Sinatra, Etta James, and Elvis Presley, I can see why she truly believes that. Ever since I can remember, I have been listening to 50s and 60s music. I remember her always playing You Make Me Feel So Young by Frank Sinatra on our radio and watching her slow dance around the living room with my grandfather. Or singing her old music in the car while she was driving me to school early in the morning. This made me realize that the rap and pop music I grew up with isn't the only so-called 'good music' around. Music has been around for hundreds of years, so here's a little taste of what we would call, 'grandma music'.

That's Life - Frank Sinatra

At Last - Etta James

I'll Be Seeing You - Billie Holiday

Grandma's Hand - Bill Withers

I'll Never Smile Again - Frank Sinatra

Please, Please, Please - James Brown

Blue Suede Shoes- Elvis Presley

Young At Heart - Frank Sinatra

Someone to Watch Over Me - Ella Fitzgerald

You Make Me Feel So Young - Frank Sinatra

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.
