20 things to Learn from Your 20's

Years spent in your twenties are the like the ultimate pre-game--full of embarrassing Instagrams, a lack of common sense and questionable outfit choices. It's a pre-game to the actually 'party' known as adulthood. So for all of you who are entering their twenties or soon to be leaving them, enjoy this hectic, chaotic time before adulthood hits.

1. Ramen noodles for dinner every night is not a sufficient meal plan.

Despite what most people say.

2. However, begging your mom to stock you up on food is still acceptable.

Thanks mom for still supporting your almost adult child :)

3. Wine will always be your best friend no matter the circumstances

And it's okay if it comes from a box sometimes.

4. Sometimes you can't avoid parallel parking your car, its an inevitable life event.

My driver's ed teacher from high school would be horrified.

5. Love hurts, but its worth it

You're gonna run into some f**kboys, but what can ya do? Onto the next one.

6. At no point does getting up early and hitting the gym get any easier.

But every now and then does actually make a difference in how you look and feel.

7. Don't waste your time on guys that aren't worth it.

8. ..because lets be real your twenties are going to go by fast, nobody has time to wait around.

9. Yeah, money is important but not as important as your family and friends.

Because they are the ones who keep you grounded.

10. Spending most of your savings account on traveling is OK.

Sometimes you just need a tan.

11. Napping often is good for your health.

And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

12. If you decide not to clean the dishes, they will still be there in the morning.

(unfortunately they don't wash themselves)

13. Documenting your life on Facebook , or Instagram is really not necessary anymore.

It may be time to stop "Doing it for the Insta"

14. Try everything (ok, not everything but, most things) at least once.

Don't let your fears stop you.

15. Dance at every bar/club you go to.

There will be a day when you are too old for that stuff so take advantage of it now!

16. Always go with your intuition.

Despite being young, odds are you intuition is right in the end

17. Some people you will just no get along with.

And that is ok, theres 7 billion more where they came from.

18. You can't always care so much about what other people think.

You do you girl!

19. But most importantly, have the time of your life in your twenties and don't waste a minute of it.

Stay young.

20. Use the "they're just in their twenties" excuse to your advantage!

I'm still not quite an adult right?

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.
