Watching "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" And Being From Philadelphia
Den of Geek

Everyone is always seeking some kind of approval. Either from people we care about or through the world of the media. That's why it's exciting when a movie or TV show is placed in the area you live.

It's like finally getting some recognition you never thought or knew you were entitled to. It's almost like you're famous, since your town is. You feel as if you might catch a glimpse of yourself in the background. It's just exciting.

This is why "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is one of my favorite shows. Not only because of the snide humor or the shenanigans the gang gets into, but because I get to see landmarks and places I grew up seeing and still go to on my TV screen. Something about it makes it more magical. So, if you're from Philadelphia too, you might want to check out this show and share in some of these little excitements.

1. Recognizing exactly where the scene is being held

From Penn's landing to LOVE park and even Citizen's Bank Park, you can pinpoint exactly where they're filming.

2. Catching small Philadelphia jokes that you'd only understand if you're from Philly

Philadelphians have a certain sense of humor that relates to city life, and you just have to be there to get the joke.

3. Saying "That's so true!" at least five times during an episode

Between talking about SEPTA, the Jersey shore, the Liberty Bell and even Reading Terminal Market, Philadelphians can identify with almost every aspect of the show.

3. Knowing the exact struggles the gang faces

There are more struggles than you would think.

4. Being proud everything is pronounced correctly, like Schuylkill

If you can't say it, please don't attempt to. It hurts our ears.

5. Being able to laugh about horrible things because the cast's portrayal of Philly culture is so accurate

You have to laugh about the horrible things because there's nothing else to laugh about.

6. Thinking about finally getting home so you can re-watch all the episodes on Netflix

Or go to Paddy's Pub and watch it 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.

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.
