12 Reasons It Sucks To Be 20

1. You don't exactly know what you want to do with your life, but a part of you feels like you should have it all figured out by now. And that part of you haunts your dreams... "Get your life together," it says.


2. You're not 21. You're almost there though! Then you can finally stop asking your older friends to by you drinks.


3. By the time your 22 Taylor Swift's song will be out dated, so the phrase "I'm feeling 22" won't be cool anymore.


4. Your parents aren't as giving when it comes to money. So if you don't have a job I guess you better get one, or start selling plasma or something.


5. Your family stops caring about your birthdays. Birthday dinners will slowly become non-existent. But birthday texts are aaaall the rage when you get older.


6. You have to start paying for your own speeding tickets, parking tickets, concert tickets and any other tickets you may come across. No more reckless driving or spontaneous concerts for you.


7. Your parents start slowly making you pay your phone bill, car insurance, and other adult expenses you have. If this hasn't happened to you yet, be on the look out for it. Don't let these bills sneak up on you.


8. You're caught between living the single life and finding someone to settle down with.


9. You know you should get a better paying job, but minimum wage and a discount on food is keeping you cuffed to your food service job.


10. At family gatherings you're too old for the kids table, but too young for the adult table. Makes you feel a bit insignificant, huh?


11. You don't understand why anyone would ever want to be an adult... Jokes on you! You thought becoming an adult would be so much fun!


12. Kids think you're an adult and adults think you're still a kid. But all you want to do is watch Netflix and eat food, who cares what you are.

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.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

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.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

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.
