Tuesday November 8 marks election night, drama filled I'm sure, for 2016. Here are some great ways to celebrate the election or ignore politics completely but have a great Tuesday!

Decorate your dorm

Hilary and Trump masks are essential. Red and blue tape, potentially spitting the room for a mixed audience. Even use old 4th July decorations, patriotic balloons, banners and anything elephant or donkey-themed to represent both parties will work and guests may feel they are at a political party's headquarters.

Party Playlist

Create an election night playlist featuring America-themed tunes to keep the atmosphere patriotic, and perhaps tune out some annoying TV anchors. Some good options are Party in the USA and the American Pie theme tune, classics.

Snacks

Food is always so important to guests, people may also want to stress eat as the results come in. Classic american snacks include, Doritos and dip and pretzels. If you're feeling sweet offer snacks like red, white and blue M&M's or here is a recipe for some patriotic jello!

Drinks for toasting

There are plenty of reasons for stocking alcohol for election night, drinking games, relaxing, stressing but also to toast! This is a great website for an intense night of drinking games.

May your election night be filled with friends, fun and positivity!

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
