Watching reality TV is definitely a guilty pleasure for many. It is nice to be able to watch someone else's life and not worry about the stresses of your own for an episode a week. Here are some of my favorite reality TV shows to watch, maybe you might give them a try!

1. 'The Bachelor.' 

'The Bachelor' gives us a look into an unconventional way of falling in love. While it is a beautiful thing to watch before our eyes, the show also highlights what gets the most attention: the drama. The drama takes over the show every season, which only hypes up the fans. Social media is on fire following every single episode and keeps the fans watching. But in the end, it is amazing to see two people (our twenty fine) exploring love.

2. 'Big Brother.' 

If you have never seen 'Big Brother,' you are in for a real treat. This show is comprised of so many different challenges. There are physical, mental, and even emotional challenges that sixteen individuals go through while they are stuck in a house with complete strangers. The goal is simple: to stay in the house. It is so interesting to watch the different strategies game players go in with and to see who comes out on top.

3. 'Below Deck.' 

'Below Deck' gives a different spin to typical reality TV shows. They dive into the lives of private charter employees. We get to see the ins and outs of private charters, especially the drama on the ship. You have drama between those working on the ship as well as mishaps that happen with the charter guests. I love getting to see the beautiful places they travel to and getting updates on who is mad at who and who ignored the guest's preference sheet!

4. 'Ex on the Beach.' 

This show I would say is a combination of all reality shows. A group of social media or TV stars are living at a beach house together and expect to be simply finding love. However, they get shocked to find out that every week, some of them will have exes coming into the house. TALK ABOUT AWKWARD! Seeing the exes and waves caused every week keeps you on the edge of your seat.

5. 'Jersey Shore.' 

This is quite the throwback but this is a classic. I would say 'Jersey Shore' is the first reality show I ever watched. It will always be my go-to on Hulu to watch if I ever need a laugh. The bond these roommates have formed kept me watching but the moments they shared with the public are what kept it interesting. These roommates are the definition of dysfunction and it got better and better with every season.

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.
