She's non-judgemental.

I can say how I feel without the fear of judgment or backlash. She does her best to understand what I am going through and always offers kind advice.

She laughs at my jokes.

It's nice to have at least one person in the world that truly thinks you're funny. I enjoy knowing that no matter how terrible they are, someone will always laugh at my jokes.

She's passionate.

The amount of passion that she shows for the issues she cares about inspires me to care deeply about the issues that I care about.

She makes me want to be a better person.

My best friend challenges me to see the world in a better light. She inspires me to care more for those around me and do more to help them.

She cracks me up.

Whenever I'm feeling sad, or I need some time to deal with the stresses of my day, she always has a funny story or joke that will cheer me up.

She shows unconditional love and support.

No matter what is going on in our lives, she will drop everything to tell me some kind words. She is constantly showing support for my dreams and encouraging me in my endeavors.

She's generous.

She buys me snacks when we spend time together and sometimes even surprises me with candy.

She's empathetic.

She's always full of kind and encouraging words, and she does her best to understand what I'm going through so that she can be as supportive as possible.

She's dedicated.

She's dedicated to her job, her education, and her friends and loved ones. She puts so much time and effort into the important things and she is going to go very far in life.

She puts others first.

She is always willing to stay late or work an extra shift at her job, drive across town to bring me food, or buy incredible gifts for people. She's genuinely one of the most selfless people I know, and that inspires me to be more selfless myself.

Everytime I spend time with my best friend, I am reminded of how lucky I am to have someone in my love that cares about me so much. I am lucky to have someone that inspires me, challenges me, and listens to me.

Take a little time out of your day to tell your best friend why you love them, and appreciate how lucky you are to have that type of support in your life.

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

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.
