10 Things Girls Say VS What they Actually Mean

As a fellow female, I can vouch for all of us when I point out that not everything we say should be taken exactly as it was spoken. Confusing, I know. In our mind--most likely somewhere in between scheduling our work plan, answering texts, and making phone calls, what we think can be lost in the translation of what actually comes out of our mouths. Maybe its a blessing, maybe its a curse.

1. "It's whatever"

What it really means: no, actually its not whatever. Its nowhere near whatever. She's probably got a much more definitive answer strategically planned out in her head, but due to the circumstances she will try not to be too high maintenance and play it safe with just that statement.

2. "I'm not really that hungry"

What it really means: Ask me if I want food in another 10 minutes, and I will most likely say that I am very hungry.

3. "I'm dying"

What it really means: something she saw, did, or witnessed is actually really funny--to the point where she's laughed so hard she may actually die.

4. "RT"

What it really means: I agree

5. "Yeah, he seems really nice"

What it really means: she's not really sure if she's interested in him, however she am not opposed to being around him.

6. "Do you think he's cute?"

What it really means: she's not sure if she has a weird taste in men, or if the guy she's looking at is actually attractive. *or* she's intoxicated and can't seem to make that judgement without the support of her fellow intoxicated friends.

7. "fine"

What it really means: nothings fine. Apologize until she begins to tell you what is actually bothering her. AKA get ready for an argument.

8. "Do I look fat in this?"

What it really means: She hasn't hit the gym in weeks, and has had pizza more than three times this week, but still wants to look cute.

9. "I'll be ready in 2 minutes"

What it really means: Do you mind waiting another 30 minutes, I haven't even done my hair yet.

10. "I have nothing to wear"

What it really means: she hasn't done laundry in weeks, she's searched through her closet several times, and has still come up empty-handed. Meaning, she is going to need to borrow something from someone ASAP.

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.
