Old enough to make the right decisions and young enough to make the wrong ones

Being A 20-Year-Old As Told By Orange Is The New Black

People Magazine

In about a week I will no longer be 20 and I will be entering into the wonderful life of a 21 year old. Turning 21 will be monumental; and a lot will change, but my year as a 20 year old was a whirlwind of emotions. The OITNB crew helped me to sum up the hardships of being a 20 year old.

You have to start thinking about your future.

A career is something you have to worry about.

You have to start caring about what your social media looks like for future employers.

You can no longer blame mood swings and irrational outbursts on being young.

You want the privileges of an adult but not the responsibilities.

You are no longer the cool and new girl when you go out.

You are old and the young girls are taking all the attention.

You start seeing wedding pictures of people you went to high school with but your just like...

You have to give some college guys a chance because marriage will be happening in the next 10 years.
Classes and projects get a whole lot more difficult.
You realize many things about yourself and the kind of person you are.

You think you have just about been through it all and life is entirely too hard (AKA we have perfected how to be drama queens).

Letter To My High School Friend Group

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM)

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
