There are perks and disadvantages of being the youngest child. Only those who are actually the youngest child will understand these few things that we all have to go through.

1. You get away with way more things than your siblings did.

Your older siblings were the reason that rules were set, but most of the time they don't apply to you.

2. You are thought of as spoiled.

You didn't have to wait to get something even though your older siblings did.

3. You always have to go along for the ride.

Whether it's a sporting event or a concert, you are forced to go EVERYWHERE for your siblings.

4. You get called everyone else's name before your own.

Every time one of your parents calls you for dinner or to get ready to go, they call each one of your siblings names before they get to yours.

5. You have great role models.

Your siblings may have gone different ways in life, but you were lucky enough to see them make their way through. You were able to learn from their mistake and benefit from their successes.

6. You always have someone watching out for you.

Your older siblings have been through the same things that you are going through now. You always have someone watching out for you besides your parents.

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

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.
