Being Home For The Summer As Told By 'Gossip Girl'
Huffington Post

The one thing that got most of us through finals (and, let's be honest, the entire school year) was the fact that we knew we would be coming back home for the summer. Here are a few things you might experience this summer, as told by the cast of 'Gossip Girl.'

1. Swiftly reclaiming your rightful position in the household

2. You may be home, but recovering from finals is no joke

3. Naturally still feeling stressed because that's how you felt all school year

4. Finally being able to catch up on everything you missed while you were at school

5. Being excited to have so much more free time... but then getting super bored right away

6. When your mom says that she's too busy to hang out with you

7. Knowing that you are in the proximity of home cooking

8. Food is just a really big perk to being home

9. Realizing that with summer comes a summer job

10. You just really don't appreciate it when people remind you that you still have to work

11. Others may have high-profile internships, but you have other priorities

12. Running into everyone you knew from high school who literally mean nothing to you now

13. Missing talking to your college friends on a regular basis

14. Doing nothing all day and still complaining about everything

15. Finally, there is your summer expectation...

16. ... And then there's your summer reality

Chances are that your home isn't located on the Upper East Side. However, that doesn't mean that 'Gossip Girl' isn't relevant to your new situation of being a college student on summer break. Relax, make some money, spend time with family and friends... just soak up summer while you can. And maybe binge watch 'Gossip Girl' on Netflix while you're at it.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
