He has no idea what he's doing in his life.

Some of us just don't know what we're doing. We're kind of winging it. That's okay. Maybe that's what college is here for.

We can't properly express our feelings at all times.

Gave me cookie, got you cookie, man. Sometimes feelings are hard, and that's also okay.

He has no idea how to handle awkward situations.

Unless it's by moonwalking away, of course.

He has a hidden intelligence.

Like when he had to file a bunch of lawyer paperwork for his girlfriend on Valentine's Day after convincing her assistant to quit. Sometimes our brain comes in clutch when we need it.

We've loved someone that wasn't good for us.

Caroline, we're looking straight at you. Remember you deserve more than someone who only wants to know they can have you.

We questioned dating a best friend.

Then some of us did, and some of us didn't. Either way, we've all been in those shoes.

He puts his close friends above all.

Remember when Cece got engaged at Schmidt and Nick's tinfinity party? And even though they were fighting, Nick still ran after him? That's the kind of friendship we all need.

Sometimes we need our friends to get us into gear.

When Winston tells Nick he never finishes anything, he then finishes his zombie novel. Maybe sometimes all we ever need is the harsh truth from friends to get us moving again. (Let this be a reminder to write the essay you've been avoiding. Like, after this article.)

Lastly, he's himself.

The best part? He's not (entirely) ashamed. And you should be fully unashamed.

Be fully you, every day.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
