Black Friday may be over, but the holidays are just beginning. Gift shopping season is here, and with the season comes the stress of finding the perfect gifts for the special people in your life. But remember, you're not alone.

Oh my god I don't know what to get anyone.

Just go browse through the mall for half a day in hopes that you'll come across the perfect gifts even though you know you won't!

Wow I am so broke. Do you think they'll be offended if I get them a toothbrush?

What if it's an electric toothbrush?

Alright, I am going to the mall and I am finding everyone the perfect gift while I'm here.

Confidence is key, right?

Nevermind, there's too many people. I just might end up strangling someone.

Claustrophobia at its finest.

How much should I spend on this person?

If I spend too much, they'll feel bad, but I don't spend enough, I'll feel bad.

Men are soooooo hard to shop for.

Getting your brother or boyfriend a gift is always a hassle.

Maybe I'll just get everyone a gift card. Who doesn't love gift cards?

Or is that too impersonal?

It's. So. Cold.

If you live in New York or the Northeast, you know how miserable it is to go shopping in the middle of December. Bundling up in coats and gloves because it's below freezing outside, then sweating your butt off inside the mall because there are so many people that you have to take off all those layers and carry them during your shopping extravaganza.

Wow this sweater is so cute, it would match my brown boots perfectly.

Snap out of it, you're not supposed to be shopping for yourself.

My sister would love these shoes. Of course they don't have her size.

Stores never have the size you're looking for when you need it the most.

This line is so long. Are these gifts really worth a twenty minute wait?

Yes. You've been here for three hours already. Buy them and go home. You'll regret it later.

Now that I've gotten a gift for everyone on my list, I really hope I get money for Christmas.

Because I am so broke it hurts.

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.
