Girl, it's OK to admit that you have wasted your time on a boy or two.

We've all been there.

But, you don't have to regret the memories you have made with them. Most times, it happens when you're young in high school and college.

For me, it took up most of my time during high school. It was the type of relationship that was on again-off again. Looking back at it, I regret giving him so much of my time. I ruined a potential relationship that could've been something, but as soon as he shot me a text or snapped me, I was right there with him again. Now, thinking back about it all I ask myself, 'what if?'

I can't explain why there was a pull to always go back to him. I could never put my finger on it. I don't know if it was the fact that he was an older guy. Or he was cute. I had a good time with him.

It was the simple things of driving around the small town we lived while listening to music, hanging out at the park, talking and watching movies.

We never had a label, maybe that was the problem. I had mixed emotions throughout the whole time of being with him.

Looking back at the time spent with him, I realize I never saw a future with him. I wish I saw this when I was with him because maybe the time with him wouldn't have been so long and drawn out.

I'm at the point in my life that when I find myself in a new relationship, it will be the end game. The person that I will grow old with. I don't want to be with someone if I can't see myself with them in the long run or I don't want them to meet my family and friends.

Look at your current relationship or think about your future relationship. Do you see yourself with them? Want to live the rest of your life with them? Introduce them to your family?

If the answer is no, then why bother?

You may be in a place where you want to have fun and live a little without being committed to someone, then I say go for it, but that is not for me.

Just please don't waste too much on a guy if he is not the one for you.

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.

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.
