Get Ready To Bring The Giant Into Your Home
WWE

Every wrestling fan owes a huge thank you to WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and HBO. The two are teaming up to make a documentary on one of the wrestling industry's greatest, Andre Roussimoff, or more commonly known as Andre the Giant. Andre earned his nickname as he stood at 7'4" and weighed nearly 520 pounds.

There isn't a set date, yet, but the film is said to be focusing on Andre's upbringing in France and his career in both WWE and the films industry. It has also been rumored that many of the wrestlers he worked with in his WWE career will be telling stories of the good ol' days in wrestling.

Vince McMahon released a statement to Rolling Stone saying that, "For more than 20 years, Andre the Giant's larger than life personality and unique charisma captured the imagination of fans around the world." This still rang true, even after his death in 1993. To this day, he is looked at as a role model and an icon in the wrestling world. I remember watching old VHS tapes that had matches between Andre and Hulk Hogan. Their rivalry was quite possibly one of the biggest in WWF (World Wrestling Federation, now known as WWE) at the time and is said to be a recurring topic in the documentary.

With all of this in mind, the only thing we can do is sit back and wait while we troll the internet for more details to be released from either HBO or WWE. Now, 24 years after his death, the WWF superstar will finally have his story told. Just like Andre, this documentary is for sure going to be larger than 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

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.
