21 Life Lessons We Learned From Blair Waldorf
Buzzfeed

If anyone has ever watched "Gossip Girl" you know of Queen B- Blair Waldorf. For those of you haven't, I highly suggest to watch it one or ten different times. Blair Waldorf, one of the main characters, taught us so much more than where to sit on the steps of the Met. She is an Upper Eastsider who is a high maintenance, striving, brilliant, strong, independent, and confident women who is determined to make something high of herself and doesn't let a thing stand in her way when it comes to getting what she wants. She is everything any woman wants to be. If she isn't already, Blair Waldorf will become your spirit animal. I find myself asking myself every day, "what would Blair Waldorf do?"

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
