13 Reasons You're On The Struggle Bus

We're all aware of the ups and downs college can throw at us. One week you might feel like you work at the library because of how long you've stayed there due to test studying and other weeks you worry that you and your couch are one being because you haven't stopped watching Netflix for 10 hours straight. The struggle is real and even though our parents may not understand the fullness of our struggles, your fellow bus mates certainly do. All aboard!

1. You have an 8 a.m. and it's April. Enough said.

2. You somehow can't manage to go a single day without tripping in public.

3. You're wearing a white shirt so naturally you spill something on yourself.

4. You've missed a certain class for the past three weeks all because of different excuses.

5. Your debit card is literally about to break in half... Aka you're broke.

6. All-nighters are the only way you're going to pass your classes.

7. You have that one class where you literally need a 59.9 so you don't have to retake it.

8. You haven't washed clothes in weeks and you're totally okay with it.

9. You've been sleeping on the couch because your bed has too much stuff on it.

10. You thought you had a Scantron in your backpack and you sit down to take the test and what do you know... No Scantron.

11. You drop your phone for the hundredth time but it cracks on the day that you really need it.

12. You forgot you had leftovers in the fridge and now your room smells.

13. Your life seems to be falling apart but you're making it work somehow.

The worst part about being on the struggle bus is that instead of one little thing going wrong, it's a bunch of little things that go wrong all at the same time. Funny how that happens, isn't it?

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.
