When it snows, it can either be a wonderfully magical time of the year or a hellish nightmare of being stuck at home for days on end. Either way, everyone has something to say about it, an opinion. Here are several things that people undoubtedly think when snow starts to fly:

"Oh, how pretty and tranquil!"

Giphy

When you first wake up and see snow, all you can think about is how pretty it looks outside. The whole world is blanketed and it couldn't look more calming and serene.

"Snow day?"

Giphy

Do you remember putting ice in every toilet in your house, going to bed with your PJs inside out and backwards, and putting a spoon under your pillow before bed? The good ole' wise tales that kids where convinced would guarantee them a snow day when there was snow in the forecast. In all honestly, snow days were very exciting as a kid whether or not those tricks helped. Snow days made for a whole day of watching movies, wearing PJs all day, and sipping on hot chocolate.

"'Guess I have to start shoveling snow and clearing the sidewalks."

Giphy

Shoveling snow is arguably one of the downfalls to it snowing. Shoveling snow is always a pain and is definitely a workout if you get more than a couple inches.

"Geez, it's cold outside."

Giphy

Snow and cold temperatures are basically synonymous so bundle up if you are heading outside for some fun in the snow!

"Hot chocolate sounds delicious right now!"

Giphy

Hot chocolate always tastes better when you come inside after being outside while it's snowing. It's a staple anytime it snows.

"I can't get over how pretty the snow is."

Giphy

Winter time can be so beautiful especially when it snows. The trees, snow covered fences, and icicles make for some great pictures!

"At what age is it acceptable to stop going sledding?"

Giphy

Asking for a friend here, when is it too old to go snowing? I vote never because sledding is such a fun time! Grab a sled and your pals no matter their age and find the biggest hill around for a good time on a snow day!

"I want it to snow everyday!"

Giphy

Snowball fights and eating snowflakes, along with all the cool things that snow brings, it's no matter that snow days are always desired!

"I want to move somewhere that it snows all the time!"

Giphy

Head to where polar bears live and you'll have your wish of snow all the time granted!

"What's a good book I can curl up by the fireplace and read?"

Giphy

Snow days are the best days to grab some fuzzy sock, a soft blanket, and a good book to sit by a fire and read.

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.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
