29 Tell-Tale Signs You're A True Cancer

It seems that lately, a lot of people have been talking about their Zodiac sign.

They're everywhere from Buzzfeed quizzes that promise to tell you what kind of ice cream topping you are based on your "star sign" to articles indicating what other signs you're best compatible with based on the characteristics of your own.

For a while, I didn't think much about my Zodiac sign and how it corresponds with my personality, but after a little bit of research into what other Cancer signs are like, I realized that everything about my star sign describes me to a T. Surely, no two Cancer signs are exactly alike, but for the majority of us, here are 29 signs you're a true Cancer:

1. You're all about home.

2. ...meaning you're 150% a homebody with NO shame in the fact.

3. You're caring and passionate, which sometimes doesn't work in your favor.

4. You're usually the "mom" of your friend group because of your nurturing nature.

5. You wear your heart on your sleeve with pride.

6. You can be SUPER emotional, even over the silliest of things.

7. Your family and friends are your first priority at all times.

8. You're exceptionally moody at times.

9. ...especially when you're jealous.

10. You LOVE getting your way.

11. You're quick to retreat into your shell at the slightest bit of confrontation.

12. ...which is why Cancer's Crab mascot suits you perfectly.

13. You have a tough exterior but are super soft on the inside.

14. You vary between being dependent on others and extremely independent.

15. ...and when you do depend on others, it's usually for emotional reasons.

16. You make a good companion for others who can adapt well to your varying moods.

17. You're loyal AF.

18. You're always the first to laugh and the first to cry.

19. ...in fact, your tear ducts have a mind of their own.

20. You're strong-willed and let nothing stand in your way.

21. You'll do anything to protect your loved ones.

22. You're sympathetic, sometimes to a fault.

23. You value a sense of security.

24. ...and may even be great with your money.

25. You value your alone time.

26. Everyone turns to your for help because they know you're always willing to lend a hand.

27. ...though you tend to get overwhelmed easily.

28. You're not a fan of change.

29. But, at the end of the day, you're always able to trust your gut, and what's better than that?

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

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.
