5 Lies You Tell Yourself In The Summer
Paul Bica

Every summer we all tell ourselves we are going to do this or that, but how often do those things actually get done? As another summer passes us by, I think we can all agree there is a common theme to our "goals" for the summer. That is they aren't going to be achieved. Here are some of the most common lies we tell ourselves.

1. "I'm going to eat healthy."


When summer comes around, so does ice cream and snow cones and late night pizza trips with your friends. Summer ends up revolving around food and you aren't complaining.

2. "I'm not gonna sleep in late."

When your alarm goes off, you realize you won't be able to sleep in when school starts up again so you just hit snooze or turn the alarm off all together.

3. "I'm going to get super tan."


Normally, vacation doesn't last long enough for this. And when you get back from vacation, it's back to work all day.

4. "I'm going to work out everyday."

Between the aforementioned job, all the other lies you tell yourself will also prevent this from happening.

5. "This will be the best summer ever."

This is the lie you tell yourself every. single. year. Eventually, all you end up doing is working and sleeping. When you happen to have free time, finding a friend who also has free time is like trying to figure if Schrodinger's cat is alive or dead.

If you accomplish your goals this summer, I applaud you. However, I think we all have gone through a summer where we at least tell ourselves one of these things and it is never accomplished. Might as well try next summer!

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.
