Dear Friend Who I Hardly See,

You should know that I want to see you more often. I hope that all this time that we go through not seeing each other is as hard for me as it is for you. I hope that the fact that our schedules are so hectic does not lead you to believe that I have forgotten about you.

I know we do not hang out as much as we used to. I wish that I had more time in the day to see everyone that I want to see, but we all know that is not how this works. There is never enough time to do the things that we want to do. I hope that you can understand where I am coming from.

I hope that when you see me hanging out with other people, it does not lead you to believe that I have chosen them over you.That is not the case at all. I am always thinking about our good times, our conversations, our laughs, but sometimes I just share those moments with someone else.

I know that sometimes we are just too busy to get around to seeing each other. I know that the text messages, phone calls, and random dates on Facetime are not nearly enough to make you understand how thankful I am for you. It may seem like I have forgotten, but I promise I have not.

I know I am not great at keeping up with you all the time. That is not your fault, sometimes I just get too busy, or don't want to bug you, or just don't mess with my phone at all. Those are not excuses, but I promise I am trying to work on that.

I hope that you know that you mean the world to me. I know that it does not seem that way all the time, but I can assure you that it is true. I cherish the memories that I have with you. I think about all the great times that we have had together no matter what we were doing. I giggle at the funny moments that replay in my head when I am in certain situations. I see pictures of us, and I smile.

Thanks for all the good times we've had, an for the adventures to come.

Love Always,

Your Distant Friend

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.
