No, it doesn't bother me at all.

Single, this word has described me for the past eighteen years.

Yes, I have never been in a serious relationship that lasted more then a month.

No, it doesn't bother me at all.

Throughout high school, I wasn't boy crazy like the rest of my girlfriends. I would talk to guys here and there, I just never truly found the immature smelly boys we had to see every day very attractive or intriguing at all.

While majority of my friends had boyfriends, flings, whatever you want to call them, I was always just there. I continued to work on myself and make an abundance of friends.

In high school, and now college, I have learned and been able to get a handle on self-love. I have learned how to be independent and just be on my own.

I have a handful of amazing friends.

No, I have never had a serious significant other, and I am totally okay with that.

While I have now had my fair share of "talking" to guys, and getting to know them, I have yet to find one that is a good match.

Another factor that plays into not ever being in a serious relationship, is that I refuse to settle.

I want to find a guy that shares the same ideals and has similar goals as I do. I want a guy that loves his momma and has a future for himself.

I have had the opportunity to date and be in relationships, but I just never completely am satisfied. Once again, I refuse to settle and YES, I am okay with 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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
