College can be a crazy time with all of the homework, classes and the friends. Being around so many people all the time you are bound to get sick and you might not be used to being sick on your own. Unfortunately, you don't have your mom or dad to take care of you so you have to look out for your own health. So here's a few things you should do if your sick in college.

1. Email Your Professors

Don't be afraid to let them know what is going on, they care about your well being as well and they want you to get better.

2. Rest Up

Do not be up partying into the dead of night of you have a fever of 102. Getting a lot of rest is crucial to you getting better. The more time you put off resting the more time you will spend being sick.

3. Go To The Health Center

Go see what is going on, the people at the health center only want to make you feel better.

4.Drink Fluids

And by fluids I do NOT mean alcohol. Try drinking lots of water so you don't get dehydrating and try to work your way up to some gatorade.

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.
