No matter where life takes us, we’ll always have the memories of our friends to bring us back together.

Let’s be honest. None of us probably would have made it to graduation year if it weren’t for the very best friends we’ve made while in college. Whether it be from stressing out over all the crap we have to get done for our classes to hanging out every weekend to de-stress ourselves from the week, we all have those friends who are there for us no matter what.

Now, for some of us, this is our last year. And it can be hard to think of an uncertain future that could bring us closer together with friends or could tear us apart. But the important thing we have to remember as we go through these next couple of weeks is that no matter where life takes us, we’ll always have the memories of our friends to bring us back together.

1. Teachers

We’ve all had those professors. The ones who drive us absolutely crazy and who seem to think we don’t have lives outside the classroom. Well, fear not, because your friends will most likely have already had that professor, will be taking the same class as you and want to rant about it, or will just know from experience what you’re talking about and will act a therapist for your stressful day.

“Mhm, yes, and how does that make you feel?”


2. “Working together” on class projects

If you’ve had or currently have the same class with your friends, there will most likely come a time when huge projects or papers are due. Sometimes these study groups can be really successful. But, let’s be honest, it’s a constant struggle between wanting to get the work done and catching up on the latest tea.


3. School field trips

Someone is no doubt always down for a cheap trip to NYC or other awesome weekend destinations! Trust me, going on a school-organized trip somewhere with your friends for a weekend or even a day will really bring you all closer together.


4. Weekends out

These are honestly the best way to detox from the stress of the regular week. Even if you’re tired from work or you don’t think you have time because of schoolwork, go. Going out to have some good, quality fun-time with your friends is the best way to start a brand new week.


5. After-class dinners

If you have one of those classes with your friends that ends at 5:50 pm, after-class meals is another great way to bond. Even if it’s just going to your college’s cafeteria for a cheap and quick bite, it’s nice to have a little bit of time to talk with your friends after the day is done to recap or to share great stories with one another.


6. Pow-wow sessions

We all have those days or times when we just need a shoulder to cry on or someone to listen to us. And the great thing about having friends in college is because you can unload everything in between classes. It’s always good to know someone is there for you.

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.
