10 Things Everyone Misses About College In The Summer
R. O.

After finishing my first year of college, I was excited to take a break and spend some much-needed relaxation time to myself. But after a short month, I already want to go back. The truth is, if you aren't even the slightest bit upset about not being on campus, then you're not in the right school.

If you do find yourself longing for days back on campus, these are just 10 of countless reasons why you might miss school:

1. You can't barge into your best friends' dorm rooms every day.

It's comforting to know that your friends are less than a 5-minute walk away when you need something.

2. Football and other sports seasons.

There's nothing like a college sporting event. It's too difficult to describe the excitement roaring through the stands each game day. Whether it's football, soccer, basketball, or lacrosse, the support from the student body is endless.

3. Philanthropy.

Because what makes you feel better than helping someone else who needs it more than you?

4. Your parents don't watch your every move.

This is a big one. I love you mom and dad, but you really need to let me start doing my own thing. Technically, I am an adult now.

5. Restaurants only available in your college town.

There's nothing more special than ordering your favorite food late at night with your best friends after a long night out.

6. Partying at home just isn't the same.

It's much easier to be able to walk to the parties or take Ubers with your friends, as opposed to having to figure out who's going to drive each night.

7. Being lazy and not getting yelled at for it.

This is basically self-explanatory.

8. Having food ready for you whenever you want it.

Although the typical dining hall food may be terrible, it's a lot easier to order out than it is to cook and clean up after yourself.

9. Knowing what you're going to do every day.

It actually is hard to get up in the morning without knowing what class you're going to that day or which party you're going to that night. Without my weekly meetings scheduled, I am a wreck.

10. Your roommate.

The constant support and laughs definitely don't go unnoticed. Nothing beats making memories with your best friend.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

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!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
