OK, so I may or may not be a millennial, the generation cutoff year is not quite clear. But what is clear is that I'm a childless young adult who just got back from Disney World!

I had the best time ever! I went on the Haunted Mansion twice, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster, Frozen Ever After, and so many other rides. Not only that, I also drank my way through Epcot.

It was so great to be able to do what I want when I wanted to.

Now I understand that there is a different type of "magic" that a family feels when they see Disney World through a child's eye, but trust me, Disney does not lose its magic just because you go without children.

In fact, some elements are more magical when you're an adult, such as interacting with the characters.

When you're with a child, they might get starstruck because they are meeting their idol, and there might not be a lot of talking. Yes, it's adorable, but it also takes some of the fun out of the situation.

When you're an adult meeting the characters, you can ask the most ridiculous questions and see what their responses are.

I asked Snow White which of the seven dwarfs was the messiest. It was a silly question, but it was fun for me and most likely fun for Snow White to think of a clever answer. (By the way, she said they are all pretty messy, but the messiest would have to be Grumpy.)

Don't forget that going without children means sleeping in and staying up late.

While all the families are running to the park for rope drop, you can sleep in and show up to the park when they are all headed back to the resort for nap time.

Then, when there are those late extra magic hours, you don't have to worry about a sleepy child who can't stay awake that late at night. You can stay in the Magic Kingdom until midnight because you only have YOU to worry about.

I know there are so many wonderful reasons to go to Disney with children, but I promise you that going to Disney without children is just as fun.

So, if you're able to, go do it! You won't regret it.

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.
