The 9 Stages Of Asking Strict Parents For Permission To Do Something Sketchy
Rachael Cook

When you grow up with strict parents, invites are usually stressful and anxiety-ridden. Will my parents let me go? How will I ask them? If you have strict parents, you can probably relate to the process of asking permission for the most simple things.

1. Drafting Messages

But not too much - or they might be suspicious.

2. Sucking up to your parents before you ask for anything


You have to make sure you completed every task you were expected to do before you ask for permission.

3. Make sure to butter them up.


But not too much - or else it's suspicious.

4. Gotta make sure they are in a good mood

You have to make sure they are likely to say yes.

5. Finally, it's time to send the text...


After all, she can't kill you through the phone right?

6. The anxiety when you see the typing bubbles.

Will she say yes? Did I phrase everything correctly? Did I finish all my chores? Why is she typing so slow?

7. She might bring up some unfinished chores of yours...

Off the couch you go, quickly double checking everything in the house that you could have forgotten to do.

8. Status reports are mandatory and non-negotiable.

Don't even try and say you forgot to update them about where you were. They are nervous and need to know your location at all times.

9. But no matter what, you know they are strict because they love you.


Gotta love 'em.

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

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.
