Ever miss a show so much that you wish they could just reboot it? Unfortunately, those wishes don't always come true, but the next best thing comes through...SPIN-OFFS! Here are five spin-off shows that are worth the watch from your favorite tv show universes.

1. The Carrie Diaries (Sex and the City)

Although The Carrie Diaries had a short run of two seasons from 2013-2014, it was definitely a force to be reckoned with while on air. We got to see a glimpse into the young Carrie and what made Ms. Bradshaw into the Carrie we know from Sex And the City. Although we don't get a glimpse of Miranda and Charlotte just yet, young Samantha and high school friends Mouse and Maggie are there to lead Carrie down the road that is her young adult life. Not to mention we get to listen to rad eighties soundtracks and see Austin Butler as Carrie's first love, Sebastian.

2. The Originals (The Vampire Diaries)

This suspenseful spinoff of the much loved "Vampire Diaries" is exactly what you need if you can't get enough vampiric content to sink your fangs into. Following the "original" family of immortal vampires (hence the name) in the streets of New Orleans, this family faces many ghouls of the supernatural realm.

3. Grownish (Blackish)

This newer spinoff of ABC's award-winning sitcom "Blackish" births "Grownish" which follows the Johnson family's oldest daughter, Zoey, to college. Here she meets new friends, new foes, and new boos and must combat the ins and outs of young adulthood in college. In addition to being utterly relatable, it's hilarious like...really hilarious.

4. Degrassi The Next Generation (Degrassi)

Now I know you're thinking "huh? Degrassi TGN isn't an original?". The answer to that is no, actually. Unless your a Canadian who's familiar with the original eighties version of this show following high schoolers through the halls of Degrassi High then you know that this is not the first (or last) spin-off of this show. As the drama-filled hallways of this Canadian high school seem to never end, this show is still binge-worthy and the next generation is by far the BEST generation. (Not to mention young Drake is apart of it).

5. The Hills (Laguna Beach)

I must admit, I do prefer the original show to this spinoff, BUT that doesn't mean that "The Hills" isn't absolutely meme-worthy and American reality TV royalty. The show follows Laguna Beach alumni Lauren Conrad and her new college buddies Heidi, Adriana, and Whitney through the streets of LA as they begin to juggle social life post-graduation. Although much of the drama has people claiming it was scripted it doesn't make the hilarity to come out of it any less entertaining.

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.
