7 Lies Everyone Tells Themselves At The Beginning Of The Semester
Glenn Carstens-Peters

1. I WILL wake up early so I have time to look nice for class

This may hold true for the first week or so, but after that, it's sweatshirts, leggings or sweatpants, and messy buns every day without fail

2. I WILL be on time for every class

Sorry for interrupting your lecture, professor. I didn't hear my alarm clock (or maybe just didn't want to)

3. I WILL do all my homework in advance

Who, me? Submitting the online homework with thirty seconds to spare? Never!

4. I WILL eat healthier at the dining hall


But the greasy pizza and burgers and fries look so much better than a salad for the fifth time this week. Also, the ice cream/froyo machine is mocking me

5. I WILL eat healthier in general

When you're at the library late and everything is closed and you're craving something and the vending machine is all that's around, your healthy eating plan will be forgotten

6. I WILL go to the gym

After a long day of class, who wants to go run and be even more exhausted when you can binge-watch more of your favorite shows on Netflix?

7. I WILL go to bed at a reasonable hour every night

Either your homework will keep you up or you'll be on Twitter or Facebook or Youtube and suddenly realize you had planned to go to bed two hours ago

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: 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.
