1. Eat Better And Work Out

We come back from school to our homes and tell ourselves that were going to go on all of these different diets and start all these different workout plans. Most of us spend more time on Pinterest finding diets and work out plans than actually dieting or working out...

2. Save Money

From going out to eating out, to nights at the bar, you start summer off broke. You find a job (hopefully) and tell yourself that you're going to save your money for next year. But then you get your first check and reward yourself, and then slowly you find little things that deserve rewards and its kinds like your back at school...broke, alone, and scared.

3. See All Of Your Friends From School

After spending 24/7 with your closest people, it is hard to think of spending time without them. As everyone leaves one by one you say that you'll all meet up in the middle. But as many know that rarely happens because time flies and before you know it you're heading back to school.

4. Go On An Adventure

It all sounds fun - packing up the car, planning out a road trip, and going on an adventure... but so does laying in bed and binge watching Grey's Anatomy.

5. Spend Your Free Time Outside

Between your diet, exercising, seeing friends, and all of the other things you said you were going to do (that don't happen), there really is no free time... and if there is free time, a nap is much more enjoyable.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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

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.
