12 Signs You Are Not A Kid Anymore
Huffpost.com

We all aspire to be just like Peter Pan, vowing never to grow up. We hold onto our childhood for as long as we can, stretching it out through the late teens and early 20's. But one morning, as you flip through television channels and stumble upon the Disney channel, you realize "Boy Meets World" and "Sister Sister" have been replaced by unfamiliar titles and characters. At this moment, you begin to recognize the signs that you are no longer a kid.

1. You enjoy staying in on a Friday night.

And every other night...

2. You get excited by kitchen supplies.

3. You remember this amazing screen.

And you probably had a really embarrassing screen name too.

4. You have owned any one of these.

And you owned them in multiple colors and scents.

5. You consider coffee one of the most important things in life.

6. You order everything online because there is really no such thing as a flattering dressing room mirror.

7. You are not familiar with any of the new Disney channel shows.

Seriously, who are these people?

8. You are on Facebook, not Twitter.

9. Before you go anywhere, you consider where you will park.

10. Your friends are getting engaged.

11. You constantly talk about the price of gasoline.

12. You viewed this post.

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.
