Dear Second Semester Seniors

Are YOU ready?

Dear Second Semester Seniors

Dear second semester seniors,

Class of 2017, we've made it this far. Spring Semester Senior year of college is upon us. We are almost done! But then you have that moment of realization "oh sh$@" what the heck I am going to do after school. Ever since you can remember you have had the structure of school, summers off, holiday breaks, it's a good pattern to be in. But we have reached the "unknown" of reality. For many college seniors these thoughts give us a slight panic attack, we start to sweat, heart rates goes up and stress goes out the window. But then we remember we are finally free, no more all nighters, no more cramming for a test, or dealing with frustrating professors, but then we go into the good memories. The friends we've made, the life long memories and jokes, until the cycle starts all over again. Getting stuck in this cycle is where the yikes emoji face comes in handy.

Some of us many be more ready then others but others may need that final push to move on to the next chapter of our lives. And that is the moment you realize all the nagging from your parents and professors has all been worth it. And you know that if they weren't there you might not be where you are today. You have to face reality and get out there.

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.

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.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

1107
Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
