Attention Upper East Siders, it's time to head back to school.

Back To Campus As Told By Gossip Girl

Unfortunately we cant all go to school on the Upper East Side, or join Blair at NYU. But that doesn't mean we don't share the same feelings as the Gossip Girl cast regarding our first weeks back to class.

No matter how much fun you’ve had this summer, when the end of August comes around you find yourself counting down the hours until you’re back on campus.

You’ve packed up the car and are already to leave the next morning when it hits you that this is the last night sleeping in your bed. You’ll be living in a Twin XL until Thanksgiving. It’s a tough goodbye.

Getting back to campus means being reunited with your friends and your roommates and you cant wait to catch up. But it also means being back with some people you could have done without.

Finally it’s time to go out and it's as if summer never happened and no time has passed at all.

But then Monday rolls around and that means the first day of classes. The party’s just begun but it already seems to be over.

Your professor has finally finished discussing the syllabus and you’re ready to get out early when he then says it’s time to start the first lesson.


You find yourself watching a lot of Netflix again. Like...a lot.

It seems like the week just drags on and classes are already proving to be rough. But you don't give up…

Because soon enough it’s the weekend again and everything is ok.

Now you just have a whole year to get through. But just remember, Work like a Humphrey, think like a Bass. Act like a Waldorf, dress like a Van der Woodsen and you'll be set.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
