Now that summer's here, it's time to reconnect with your friends from high school and catch up. Here are 8 ideas of things to do when you're hanging out with your friends from high school!

1. Have a sleepover!

Whether you're 9 or 19, it's always fun to have a sleepover with friends. Pile up the pillows and break out the Cheetos while you watch Zac Efron in his prime

2. Pool Partyyy

Fun floaties and cute swimsuits give you a reason to meet up at the pool and cool off in the hot weather. Find out who can still cannonball the best... or maybe see who improved their cannonballs in the past year!

3. Go out to a fancy dinner

You're old enough to dine out now... by yourselves. Be the "adults" that you are for the night and go out to a nice dinner with the BFF's from back in the day.

4. Go on a day trip

The new-found freedom of college can be carried over to the freedom of the open road. Check out some of the local (or not-so-local) travel destinations around your area and share in the memories with those who you bonded with back in the day.

5. Camping

Nothing says summer like breaking out the tent and marshmallows and catching up over the campfire. Just like when you were seven, the smore's and the bonding will taste just as sweet.

6. Movie Marathon

Whether it's the whole "High School Musical" trilogy, the whole "Star Wars" trilogy... whatever you're into... set it all up and sit down to enjoy the whole series since it's summer and there's time to do so.

7. Make your own ice cream

There's a recipe to make the greatest summer food in the world, and it can be achieved without much difficulty and for much bonding between friends. Make it. Eat it. Cherish it.

8. Get outdoors

Whether it's hiking, playing soccer, shooting hoops, or just going for a walk together, meet up and get outside to enjoy the great outdoors together. The endorphins will boost your enjoyment of each other and you'll feel physically better while upping your heartbeat with the fresh air.

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.
