Desert Island Games, Episode 3: Books.

Works as a great source of entertainment, but also as a great fire starter if need be.

Along with my makeup, and my movies, I have room in my bag for books as well! And when the cable is out, and I have a full face of makeup on, I might as well read a book. Waiting on my food to cook? Read a book.

1. Flowers in the Attic.

Preferably, I would like to take the entire series. But if I had to choose just one of them to take with me, this would be the one.

2. The Sun and Her Flowers.

Who doesn't love a good poetry book, and especially the work of Rupi Kaur? If you're ever feeling a little lonely and heartbroken on the island, this is the perfect read.

3. The Sun Also Rises.

I personally really, really, love Ernest Hemingway, and I feel like this book is one I would never get tired of reading. After all, who knows how long I'll be on the deserted island for.

4. Fifty Shades of Grey. The Trilogy.

Don't diss this choice until you have read them yourself. I'm not taking them for the erotic side of these books - it simply is a GREAT plot and a very interesting story. It is different from other books around when it was released. It is not the typical 'girl loves a boy but the boy loves another girl' love story, and I'm here for it.

5. You Are A Badass.

This needs no explanation. If I'm ever feeling a little discouraged on the island, my shelter fell apart, my fire won't start, etc. I'll just pick this bad boy up and have a read.

6. Mr. Mercedes

Because, again, if you've ever read this - you know why I'm taking this. If you're a Stephen King lover - you know why I'm taking this. I love this book, I love Stephen King, I love the plot, I love the idea, I love it all.

7. The Da Vinci Code.

"I would take the Da Vinci Code, so that I could burn the Da Vinci Code." Sorry, I had to. You either get it or you don't.

Stay tuned for my next episode of Desert Island Games.

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.
