11 Reasons To Watch 'The Flash'

Are you itching for a new TV series to watch? Do you like superheroes? Look no further, because "The Flash" on The CW is the show for you. It is packed with action, romance, drama, and comedy, so you'll never get bored. Each episode will leave you wanting to watch the next.

1. Barry Allen, aka The Flash, is played by the amazingly handsome Grant Gustin.

You have seen him in "Glee," on a lifetime movie, and now he is the star of "The Flash."

2. Barry is constantly saving the day.

He speeds around the city saving people from all kinds of dangers. It doesn't matter how big or small the trouble is, he is there.

3. Barry isn't your typical hero.

Barry isn't the typical buff, manly-man, hero. He is quite dorky, nerdy, and has his own quirks about him.

4. The Flash is basically Arrow's BFF.

There are always Arrow references, crossovers, and guest appearances. Barry and Oliver are pretty much in a bromance. So if you love Arrow, you will most definitely love this one.

5. Barry has a sensitive side.

It isn't all saving lives and being famous for Barry. He truly cares about the people in his life and in his community.

6. The team that helps Barry is pretty amazing.

Gaining super speed can be quite a scary thing to process, but Barry has a team of scientists that double as his friends to help him through it.

7. The villains are pretty cool.

Take Grodd for example. He is a super intelligent gorilla that can speak to and control you through mind control.

8. Barry's multiple romances.

Who wouldn't want to date The Flash, or Barry Allen for that matter? He is smart, fast, clever, and oh so charming.

9. The characters know how to have a good time.

Once in a while, the team will leave S.T.A.R Labs to head over to the bars to have a little fun. Viewers can get a laugh out of their adventures as well.

10. The way Barry gains his powers.

Nothing like getting struck by lightning and waking up with super speed.

11. The logo is pretty cool.

What are you waiting for? Go watch it! Barry Allen and the gang await you. The first season is on Netflix!

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.
