The thought of living alone freaks you out.

7 Realizations You'll Have Once You Live With Your Best Friends In College

College has brought me the best times with the best people, and every night in or out shows me how lucky I am. Our house is full of different personalities, majors, aspirations and mindsets- but I don't think it would be possible to live with a group of friends I love and trust more.

1. To the outside eye, your group probably seems like the worst

Okay I'll admit it. We're pretty obnoxious when we're together, but I swear it's only with the best intensions.

2. Everything is better when you're together

It doesn't really matter if we're going out or staying in, as long as all of us are there I don't feel the need to be anywhere else.

3. You can't imagine ever living alone

Imagining a world where I walk into the kitchen and my roommates aren't there cooking dinner, or coming home from a late night of studying to a blanket and movie fest is a world I don't want to be part of.

4. Holiday breaks throw you off your element

Why is no one running in the house at 2am? Why is no one using the shower when I want to?! This isn't okay.

5. You know way too much about each other's personal lives

Without realizing it, too. I'll be talking with my roommate about a guy, and I start to think I know more about that guy than he knows about himself.

6. Having house parties makes for the best morning talks

I.e a dog pile of everyone in the living room crying laughing over what happened the night before.

7. Each of you brings something unique to the table

As in we have some late night food smashers, some (unreasonably) early risers, the moms, the sleepless and the reckless. Together, we make a pretty solid bunch.

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.
