3 Mottos Every College Woman Should Live By

1. "Better to look back and say 'oops,' than 'what if.'"

You are only a young, carefree college student once. This is the time of your life when you have the least responsibilities (although it may feel like the every problem in the world rests on you). This is the time to make learning mistakes without huge consequences. Now is when you make the college memories that later you will laugh over and think "that was probably a bad idea." Instead of, "I wish I would have had more fun." With that in mind, let loose and go for it!

2. Fake it 'til you make it.

Because, let's be honest, we are all out here pretending we know exactly what we are doing. In reality, each of us is just faking it in the hopes that one day, we really will know what we're doing. The key, though, is to look like you have it together. Success comes from confidence. And confidence is achieved through believing you can do it whatever you don't yet know you're trying to do. In the end, nobody has a clue what direction his or her life is headed. Let life take you by storm, but do it with confidence.

3. "Everything happens for a reason."

We understand. Life sucks sometimes. You fail a class, lose your dream guy, and have an explosive fight with your best friend all in the same fifteen minutes. Day like this happen. But, maybe it all happened so that you would re-take the class, meet your true best friend for life in it, and then marry your soulmate who's also her brother. We never know why life works the way it does, only that it will all work out in the long run.

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.
