The school year is getting shorter and so it my attention span in classes.

We all know how it goes: you're trying really hard to pay attention to your professor as they drone on about some concept you know will be on the exam, but for some reason all you can hear is the Charlie Brown adult voice as you start to zone out.

And when I zone out, I ask myself questions.

No, not meaningful questions that might help me pass the class I'm sitting in, but completely nonsensical questions that have nothing to do with anything but always seem extremely pressing. So, here are some of the questions that just happened to pop into my mind today.


1. Which "New Girl" character would I be?

I ask myself this question often. And, let me tell you, there are a ton of great online quizzes that are bringing me closer to an answer.

2. When people first discovered oranges and bananas, did they try to eat the peel?

This is a serious question! How long did it take people to figure out that certain fruits are meant to be peeled?

3. What time do I have to go to bed tonight in order to get the recommended 8 hours of sleep?

I basically start thinking about going back to sleep as soon as I wake up in the morning. I can't help the fact that I love my bed.

4. What is the meaning of life?

Just some casual existentialism to digest with your morning coffee.

5. How is Lady Gaga ONLY 5'2?

If you didn't know that Lady Gaga is only 5'2, now you do. Weird, isn't it? But as a fellow 5'2 person, I find it extremely inspirational that Lady Gaga and I are the same height. I just don't understand how someone so badass is so short.

6. Do people still judge me for that one time I did that one thing in sixth grade?

If you don't contemplate all the weird things you've done in your life and wonder if people still think about you as that weird person who did that weird thing, then you're the weird one.

7. Bees?

Letter To My High School Friend Group

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: 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.
