I spent a week in Washington D.C. and found the best spots for Instagram posts. There are plenty more than 11, but these are some of my favorites. Our nation's capital has some of the most beautiful spots to visit and it would be a shame not to capture the beauty! Enjoy your time in D.C. and take plenty of photos!

1. Georgetown

The streets are lined with perfectly stacked houses, which make for the best backdrops for your Instagram feed. Georgetown has the cutest shops and a desirable college town feel.

2. The Wharf

The Wharf has to be the best sunset spot in all of Washington D.C. Enjoy a dinner by the water and let golden hour bless your feed!

3. The Potomac River

Grab a Cupcake from Baked & Wired and sit along the Potomac! Stone steps lead to the edge of the water and you can watch all of the cute little ducks floating along.

4. The Capitol Building

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

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

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.
