College As Told By Gossip Girl

As this school year comes to an end, I turned to Gossip Girl to explain all of the thoughts and feelings college students have on a daily basis. Surprisingly, these Upper East-Siders' problems are somewhat relatable to the average college student. So here are some gifs to explain some typical reactions to everyday scenarios college students face.

When you haven't gotten a decent amount of sleep in days (or weeks):


When all of your friends are busy:


When your professor goes over time and won't let your class out:


Walking out of your last class on Friday:


Listening to 10 minute speeches about soil (or some other mundane topic):


Running into your ex-roommate/ annoying kid from your class:


When you hand in your final exam:


When you barely study and still get a better grade than the person who studied for hours:


When you want an A in your class:


When you tell yourself you'll try harder this semester:


When someone in your class starts rambling about his/her personal life:


When someone asks how you're doing:


When you're trying to get to know someone new:


When you don't do as well as you wanted on an exam:


When you've spent all week studying for exams and doing work:


When everything seems to be going wrong:


When you're on a break and hang out with high school friends:


When someone asks what you want to eat:


When someone notices that you're acting differently:


When someone asks why you work so hard:


When you realize exam week is coming up:



When you call your mom to vent about your life:


When you realize you have a personal attachment to your computer:


College has its ups and downs, but it's oh so worth it. Don't let this article fool you. It's mostly satire. Key word: mostly.

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.
