If I had an Amazon Echo or a Google Home, I just know for a fact that I would ask it ridiculous questions. In the commercials, there is always a family using Alexa/Google Home to come closer as a family, but we all know that's not exactly how it would go.

I'd definitely ask it things I search on Google on a daily basis and random questions that pop into my head while I'm in the shower or laying around watching Netflix. I know I'm not the only one. Here are some questions I'd probably ask my Alexa/Google Home if I had one:

1. "Play that song by that Scottish band that goes da da da da da da da da. You know what I'm talking about,"

I doubt she'd catch that I was asking to listen to 500 Miles, but it's worth a shot.

2. "Can cats eat cucumbers?"

I'm pretty sure I'd ask a million variations of this question in my time of owning an Alexa/Google Home because my cats always try to eat my food.

3. "How long do green beans last?"

This question would definitely come while I was looking through my fridge.

4. "How many oz are in a shot glass?"

But seriously, why do alcohol recipes come by ounces or any other unit than "a shot"? Who takes the time to measure out 1.4 oz of Blue Curacao for their margarita? Serial killers.

5. "What does the year on someone's Facebook profile mean?"

Has anyone noticed that? Can anyone answer this?

6. "Why do cats wiggle their butts before they jump?"

This question would probably come from my boyfriend who thinks cats are a mystery.

7. "What should I make for dinner?"

I hate when I can't decide what I have a taste for. It's better if someone else tells me what to make sometimes. I'd probably follow that up with: "How do I substitute for minced garlic?"

8. "Tell me a joke."

9. "What's the weather going to be today?"

Okay, but this one is actually relevant and would help while getting ready in the morning.

10. "When will my package be here?"

I should have UPS tracking bookmarked on my laptop because I swear I always have some kind of package being shipped.

11. "Should I go out tonight?"

Sometimes you need some convincing and/or reassurance that you've made the right choice (to stay in of course).

12. "Are we friends?"

Don't they get to know you and collect data on you? They have to know you best, right?

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.
