To my person,

First off let me say that you inspire me to be the best I can be. I will always wonder what I did to deserve someone as amazing as you. The busy lives we lead make it so we aren't the best at communicating, but when we do talk it's like we never left off. I want you to know how much I appreciate you in my life because I don't always get to tell you.

I've never had a friend who gets me like you do. I just love the fact that we never run out of things to say. I can tell you literally anything in the world and you just get me. You always seem to know things about my life before they even happen. Especially when it comes to boy stories (or literally anything else), it blows my mind to this day how brilliant your psychic ways are.

I hate not getting to see you whenever I want, oh I hate it so dearly. I wish we went to the same school so we could live together and make all these memories together. It takes a special kind of friendship to last a distance of thousands of miles. Let me tell you, not everyone is cut out for it. But it's super cool to see how we don't have to be in the same city or even state to stay besties, and when we do see each other our time together is so much more special. We're in different states tackling this whole adulthood thing and following our dreams together and I love getting to hear all about it. I hate the distance but I'm so darn proud of who we're becoming, our friendship stands the test of distance indeed.

I love that we have different opinions and that we can discuss them and respect each other. I love that we can share our ideas and plans for the future with each other all the time. I love that you love burgers and hate salads (whereas I love salad and hate burgers), and how we'll always share a love for coffee and ice cream. I love that we are navigating this thing called adulthood together and we'll always have each other's backs.

Thank you for being there for me, for listening to all my nonsense, and giving me your honest advice even when you know I won't like it. Thanks for keeping it real. You tell it like it is and that's one of the reasons I love you so much. Thank you for spontaneous FaceTime dates and dance parties, and for listening to my random conspiracies that come from out of nowhere. Thanks for sticking by my side no matter what, because I know my life can be a little dramatic sometimes. I have no idea how I would make it through life without you.I want you to know that I think you are amazing.

I really scored in the best friend department. Distance has got nothing on us.

Love,

Your person

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.
