9 Signs the Freshman 15 Has Gone Too Far

1. When eating is the most exciting activity of the day.

The best part of your day has suddenly become dinnertime, where you can get not only unlimited pizza and fries, but also that burger, hot dog, taco, three pieces of cake, and that questionable chili. Yum!

2. When you don't recognize yourself in the mirror.

Who is this person?! Maybe if I just avoid looking in mirrors this won't become a bigger issue.

3. You go home for breaks and your parents make comments about your weight.

“Wow, honey, you look… different." F-off, Mom.

4. You feel your only chance for change is divine intervention.

Dear Lord, if there was ever a time to decide to actually listen to me it would be now. Make me hot.

5. You are in denial and start making excuses about your eating habits.

If you eat two pieces of pizza stacked on-top of one another the body doesn't know, it will think you are only eating one. Thank you, Fran, for this life changing tip.

6. Sitting in the impossibly small desks in lecture halls becomes even more difficult.

Seriously, when you can't fit even one normal sized person in one of those creepy small chairs, how I am supposed to fit myself post eating my entire body weight in dining hall food?

7. When your friends from high school start mentioning your weight gain and you lash out.

“Wow, you look…different." F-off, Becky.

8. You have no concept of exercise.

I heard they have a gym on campus, I just have absolutely no idea where it would be located or what you would even do there.

9. You give up on trying to be hot and decide pizza sounds like more fun anyway.

I give up. Life is for living, not dieting.

On a serious note, we are all beautiful in our own ways. What is important is to love yourself for you. Enjoy the unlimited food while you can, and if you don't like something about yourself, change it. It is as simple as that.

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

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.
