An Accurate Representation Of Going Home For The Weekend

Every once in awhile we get the opportunity to go home and spend the weekend away from the college scene. When going home, there are always things that you are bound to do before the weekend is over and you have to make the drive back. Here are some things that happen when you're home.

1. First you come home just to go and cuddle with your dog and/or cat.

Yeah I mean it is great to see your family, but the most important members of your family are those with four legs that always love you no matter what. You need to make up for lost time with your pet!

2. Then it is time to sleep the day and night away.

The only thing that is better than your pet, is sleeping in your own bed! You can always try to believe that your bed up at school is comfy but nothing can compare to you bed at home!

3. The only times you will get up during the day is when you are hungry or want to watch Netflix in your bed.

Getting up from your bed is hard work when you are catching up on much needed sleep. So you only should get up for emergencies. These emergencies are when you are hungry or when you forget that you need to continue watching the show you never finished!

4. Once you have caught up on sleep, you try to convince your parents to take you out shopping for food and clothes.

One of the best things about being home is that you don't have to spend your own money. You take this very seriously and convince your parents that you need food back up at school or need something that is vital up at school! Coming home to shop is the best time to shop.

5. You take a long drive through town.

Is there anything better than strolling down memory lane while having the music blasting!

6. You force your parents to watch the show you are currently binge watching on Netflix.

Because there is nothing better than forcing your parents to watch a show you like!

7. You go and visit your friends who are are also home and it is like you have never left!

Every time you come home you somehow make your way to a friends house in order to catch up. And sometimes catching up takes all night!

8. You make sure you huge bag of laundry is done by anyone but you.

You saved all your laundry just for someone in your family to do for you.

9. You quickly get done all the homework you forgot to do.

It is Sunday morning and you just realized that you have a bunch of homework due at midnight so you rush and get it done as quick as possible before you go back to school.

10. You are going to be upset to leave, but know that soon you will be reunited with you family and most importantly your bed.

It is not goodbye, but instead see you soon! Before you know it you will be back to the same routine for another weekend.

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.
