My First College Fall Break

"I'm a broke college student and realized I have nothing to wear."

My First College Fall Break
Jacqueline Dorsett

Originally, I didn't really want to go home for fall break. I was having such a great time at school and was finally getting into the groove of things. I felt that fall break would kind of break that groove. Unfortunately, I got really sick a few days before fall break and then all I wanted was to be back home in my bed.

Now that I am home, it is going to be hard to go back to school. I missed my family so much and have loved getting to spend time with them again. I missed annoying my siblings everyday and more importantly my dog. Still don't know how I lasted almost two months without my dog.

I realized fall break is a perfect excuse to get your friends or family together for fun events. My siblings and I went to a pop-up Halloween corn maze event downtown the other night and my family is going to Top Golf this weekend. If it wasn't for fall break, we probably would not have done either of those things. Also, it's another perfect excuse to go shopping with my mom. You have to pull the "I'm a broke college student and realized I have nothing to wear" line with them and then you're solid. They feel bad for you and want to spend time with you so they end up caving and next thing you know you're at the mall!

Since none of my friends went to schools close to one another, we haven't had time to go and visit one another. With break, it gives us the perfect opportunity to spend time together and catch up. We went to all our favorite restaurants here and drove around town like we used too.

Overall, fall break has been such a nice escape from school and I was finally able to spend time with everyone without stressing about all the work I need to get done.

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

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

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.
