College: As Told By Chandler Bing

College. What a time to be alive.

No, seriously. What a freaking time to be alive. One minute, it's the time of your life. You're having a fiesta with your amigas. The next minute you're googling careers that don't require a degree.

It's something else, y'all. Who better to tell the tale of college than Chandler Bing?



Some days you never want to graduate. College has got to be the best decision you've ever made, right?


Then there's the other days, when you have no freaking clue what you're even going to college for.


But one day, you finally decide on a major... until you have a mid-college crisis and want to change majors again but know it's too late and your parents will kill you.



Then about the time you're a junior, you get over it, right? Decide that you're happy with your major and all that good stuff. Until you have that class. That one dang class. The one that makes you question your entire existence as a human being. We all have that class.

\


And every time you have a test (aka self-esteem slaughtering session) you have to have a pep talk with yourself before looking at your grade.



But you survive and you're really proud of that C on your transcript even though you would've cried like a hungry baby over a C in high school.



Then you're in your senior year. Senior year is supposed to be the easiest, right?



Now not only are you worried about school, but you're worried about life and your future. Things like dying alone.



You get over it and start accepting the fact that you've kind of let yourself go and the stress of the past four years has done some damage and it's going to take a special human to love you at this point.



So then you start worrying about things like graduating. Only to realize that no one really graduates in four years and you'll be joining the fifth year club.



So you survive, whatever. It's fine. What's another $50,000 in debt? Okay. So year five. Now you're trying to get your life together. Trying to find a potential future husband.



You're always dealing with the "when are you actually going to graduate?" people.



And every single day is filled with stress, assignments, stress, degree audits, stress, procrastination, stress, a little bit of fun, and some more stress.




Then one day you actually graduate. I guess. Stay tuned.

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.
