The 8 Truths Of Working Night Shift
Y. Baez Photos

1. You are a night owl. You fully embrace this nature of yours and have no shame in sleeping in during the day and being completely awake during night. Even on your off days.

2. Going back to number one--your off days consist of sleeping in and possibly binge watching on that favorite show of yours. Making plans with friends and the outside world may require you to discipline yourself to a 'normal human being' schedule--the last thing you want to do is fall asleep at cousin Sharon's wedding.

3. When trying to function during the day, you realize that it's just not that simple. First give me coffee and let me nap and then I"ll make that vital executive decision.

4. Coffee is your best friend.

5. Your usual eating time is midnight, 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am and so on and so forth. Coming home from night shift you will realize you did, in fact, have a ravenous appetite after all and might deplete your fridge of basically every food item.

6. Going back to number four--coffee is your best friend. Want to cut down on it? I suggest still a caffeinated drink to help you get through your day.

7. The night shift crew that you have been working with becomes family to you--thankful for these souls!

8. You wouldn't have it any other way--you love working nights and you love being a night owl.

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.
