I'm A Girl Who Is One Of The Guys, And That's Okay

I'm thankful that I've learned that being one of the guys isn't a negative thing.

Being the only girl in a group of guys is a pretty cool experience. Ever since I was a little kid, I've been more comfortable around a group of guys than a group of girls. I played baseball on an all boys team for five or more years, had more guy friends than girl friends, and just all around got along better with guys than girls. This has definitely carried on into my adult life. If I'm not with my roommate, you'll most likely find me with a group of guys having a good time.

I used to think that there was something wrong with me since I couldn't get along with girls that well, but the older I've gotten the more I've realized that it's okay to have more guy friends even though I'm a girl. This isn't to say that I hate having girl friends. I just prefer to be one of the guys because I feel like I can be more of myself around them. A lot of girls are into all the shopping and makeup things that are typically deemed "girly," but I'm more into just chilling on a couch and playing video games.

In my 19 years, I've been one of the guys more often than not and that's okay. That's something I've come to love and a feeling that's like no other. I love being around people that I can have a good time with and it seems like I've found those people in Indianapolis as well as in my hometown of Richmond. Maybe down the line I'll be one of the girls, but for now, I'm totally content with just being one of the guys.

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.
