1. Caffeine.

How else are you going to make it through all the time you are studying since you are already heavily lacking in sleep?

2. Tissues for your tears (or illness).

It is perfectly normal to have a breakdown with all the stress of the week, so you might as well be prepared. And if you don't have a mental breakdown, then you are probably already sick like everyone else during finals.

3. Lots and lots of post its.

For all the things that you still have to do since you have procrastinated until the very last minute.

4. More Caffeine.

Already had two coffees and a soda? How about some Yerba Mate?

5. A ride home from the library when you are too lazy and/or tired to walk.

Worse than a walk of shame...walking home in (relatively) cold temperatures lugging your weight in textbooks.

6. Advil.

For the headaches you are bound to experience.

7. A blanket or Snuggie to keep you some what comfortable while you are sitting in a chair for hours on end in the library.

8. Portable chargers.

They are very useful for when you can't find a spot with an outlet.

9. Spotify Premium.

Because ads literally kill the studying flow.

10. HEADPHONES!

Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend was wrong. There is nothing like trying to study with obnoxious eaters or loud gossipers next to you.

11. Highlighters.

Because, for some reason, colors make your notes look much more interesting and enjoyable.

12. Easily eatable food that doesn't smell awful and is not insanely loud to eat.

13. Sleep (at least to some extent)

It is super important to get at least a few hours of sleep during finals otherwise you won't retain as much information as you could.

14. Motivation

Know what you are working towards because otherwise you are not going to want to do anything but watch Netflix, go out, or sleep; thereby procrastinating or not fully committing to what you are doing.

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.
