Back To School As Told By Friends
TV Guide

It doesn't matter if it's August or January. We have the same back to school feelings at the beginning of each semester. There are lots of feelings, emotions, primarily of sadness and longing for a longer break, but deep down there are always positives we find with the return to school. I think Friends tell it best. Just look below. No spoiler alerts should be given. And if there are, sorry not sorry. It's a show you should have watched by the end of freshmen year of college. Not that old? Well get ahead of the average game.

1. Waking up the first day too exhausted to do anything and not really knowing what you put on to wear.

2. When the first thing the teacher says is "let's go around the room and introduce ourselves with a fun fact."

3. Continually questioning why 8 AM classes exist, and why you always choose to enroll in them.

4. All the cute boys that you somehow have never seen before break.

5. Finding out you share one or more classes with your best pals.

6. Going to sleep the night before and wondering where your break went.

7. Realizing you have .25 seconds before the teacher walks in but you forgot to tell your friend the embarrassing thing that happened to your older brother.

8. Realizing you coming back to school meant that you are back with the ultimate squad of people who you couldn't imagine doing life without.

9. But no matter what good you find positive in going back to school, we are all Ross the night before/the morning of/the remainder of the semester:

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
