Sorry, But Ariana and Pete Are Not #RelationshipGoals

There's nothing enviable about rushing into things.

Actually, I'm not sorry.

Unless you live under a rock, or just never check social media, chances are you've heard by now that pop star Ariana Grande and comedian Pete Davidson got engaged within weeks of reports that they had just begun "casually seeing each other".

And in the blink of the eye, they're suddenly one of the most talked-about couples in Hollywood (JBiebs and Hailey are up there, too.) They've become extremely public about their relationship on Instagram, from dressing up in Hogwarts robes together to showing off their tattoos for one another. It all moved extremely fast, and honestly, it's kind of scary.

I don't dislike either celebrity, and I don't hate public relationships. But I simply cannot get behind an engagement after only weeks of dating.

Both Grande and Davidson are in their early twenties, and both have incredible careers ahead of them. What's with the sudden rush to get married? How well can they possibly know each other? Don't they think that they're just setting themselves up for failure?

While I understand that they are both individuals very capable of making their own decisions, Grande especially should have some grasp on the message this sends to young fans. They now idolize a young woman who thinks a couple months of dating is sufficient enough to last a lifetime.

I don't intend to discredit either Grande or Davidson on their incredible success in their respective industries. If it was cute couple pictures on Instagram, lovey-dovey comments on each other's accounts, and a simple (very public) summer romance, I would have no problem with this. But what's enviable about rushing into things? What are we teaching young girls about what love truly means?

I'm all for love at first sight, and I am the most rom-com obsessed person you may ever meet, but Ariana and Pete are not my #relationshipgoals.

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.
