I'm Your Older Sister Now, Here Are Some Tips

I am an older sister, and I absolutely love it. However, I know there are plenty of times I've wished I had one myself to talk to or get advice from. So, if you don't have an older sister and want some generic sisterly advice, look no further.

1. Drug store products work great, you don't have to splurge just find what works for you.

2. Drink water!! I don't do it nearly enough but it could probably solve a lot of your problems,

3. Charge your phone at night.

4. Procrastinating is hard to avoid, but if you're going to wait to the last minute save enough last minutes to do it.

5. If you think you look cute one day, take pictures! Just for a moment even! You don't have to do anything with them, but just let yourself take some moments to enjoy.

6. I swear by Pinterest use it for anything and everything.

7. Fill out your planner every week!

8. Don't open text messages if you're not ready to respond or at least plan to respond. You'll definitely forget about them.

9. There are so so so many things more interesting about you than your weight. Also it depends on so many things, please don't fixate on it. Also BMI is stupid. Ignore it.

10. Something making you happy is a good enough reason to do it. You should be happy.

11. Establish a morning routine that makes you happy! Start your day right.

12. If you don't complete said routine, it's okay!! Not a failure it just wasn't what you needed today.

13. Be kind to yourself and to other people, they will remember it.

14. Wear! What! You want! I promise if you try an outfit thats out of your comfort zone, or you dress up more than other people you are only going to get compliments. No one cares what you're wearing! There's no such thing as trying too hard.

15. Moisturize every day, and get your face wet before you do.

16. The only way to get someone to like you back is to be yourself. Changing yourself is bad and also pointless, as it usually doesn't work.

17. Don't share mascara!

18. Always have a little cash in your phone case just in case.

19. Big pants little top!

20. Playing games with people is a waste of time, and it won't make you happier in the long run. Honesty is such a refresher.

21. Always keep deodorant and extra feminine products in your bag.

22. Invest in a big pair of hoops and a little pair.

23. Tote bag instead of a backpack when its hot out! Walking across campus in 80+ weather will make you sweat, and it always made me anxious for my next class. Tote bag is a lifesaver.

24. Just take off your make up before bed. It's worth the walk to the bathroom.

25. Fight for the things you want in your life, but honestly the things that are really supposed to be in your life will not be hard to get to stick around.

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.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
