Here are some of the most relatable and common firsts of freshman year:

1. Leaving home.

This probably one of the hardest. Leaving your hometown, family, friends, and familiarities is a lot harder than what you expect even if you are ready to leave.

2. Cleaning your dorm room.


When you first arrive at college, you must clean and decorate your dorm room to make it feel like home. After that, it is probably a good idea to clean it to keep bugs out.

3. Saying goodbye to your family.


If you think saying goodbye to your home is hard, just wait til you say goodbye to your family at college. Watching them leave the dorm is one of the hardest things about going to college in my opinion.

4. Making your first friends at college.


Get ready to meet a lot of new people and make some awesome friends.

5. Going out for the first time.

Make sure you go out with people you know especially for the first time. And just have fun!

6. First day of classes.


Just try your best to not look like a freshman.

7. First football game.


Make sure to tailgate too!

8. First exam.


Even if you study for days, looking at your grade is going to be like getting hit by a bus.

9. Rush.


Despite all the sweat, makeup, and tears, be ready to find your home for the next four years.

10. Getting tired of the dorm food.


This will probably happen after a week or two.

10. No caption needed.


11. First Frat Party.


This will probably be terrifying at first but after you will know exactly what to expect for the next.

12. Going home for the first time and seeing all you friends.


This is amazing.

13. Spring break.


14. Going home for summer after freshman year.


After being away at college for months, it has become a second home. Leaving your new friends is going to be hard, but luckily sophomore year is only a few months away!

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.
