It's time. You're graduating in just a few short weeks and it's time to retire the norts, oversized T-shirts and leggings in favor of blazers, slacks and proper blouses for your new post-grad job. No longer can you wear the same pair of Uggs every day and hope no one sees the wrinkles in your shirt and the bags under your eyes. It's time to be the professional you were born to be.

But, wait — where can you find proper work clothes that won't break the bank?

1. H&M

Their basics line is not only affordable but also durable. Pick up some basic shift dresses, cardigans and simple jewelry without your wallet crying. You can pick up several pieces to rotate throughout the work week to keep things fresh and simple.

2. Ann Taylor

I know, looking at the full price section will give you some sticker shock; I worked there for three years and I'm still not used to seeing a basic black shirt for $69.50. However, if you wait until they do markdowns and set their sale section to 50 percent off, you can walk away with some amazing pieces for a steal. Sometimes, they even have coupons that work in the sale section, too, so make sure you sign up for their emails.

3. TJ Maxx

TJ Maxx can be hit or miss depending on your area but where else can you find a Calvin Klein blazer for 60 percent less than retail? Sure it's last season but does it really matter? Unless you're working in the fashion industry, it's highly improbably that anyone will notice-- or care-- what season your clothes are from. Besides, everything comes back in style eventually.

4. Old Navy

Two words: pixie pants. Everyone loves these pants because of their durability, affordability and ease to move in. I've seen my waitresses wear them all the way to professors at my school. They're flattering and comfortable.

5. LuLus

LuLus is an online-only clothing store with a wide selection of clothes at a pretty great price. A lot of their pieces are versatile, too, to take you from day to night when needed.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
