Here's To The Fall Semester

'Twas the night before classes

Here's To The Fall Semester
Cumberlink

'Twas the night before classes and all through the town, not a student was sleeping but all wore a frown;

The backpacks were placed by the door with such care, that in the morning rush they could not be forgotten there;

The students were snuggled in their Twin XL beds, while visions of exams danced in their heads;

And the freshman with their lanyards, and upperclassmen in sweatpants all mentally prepared for the semester ahead...

It's officially time to dive back into the textbooks, lectures, dining hall food and every other aspect that comes with college life. From study sessions that never seem to end to the parties you wish never would. The fall semester is here and with it will come so many ups and downs.

You'll resent waking up for class, but you may become amazing friends with the person who sits next to you. There is no hiding the fact that you'll get sick because campus food, but you'll fall in love with certain food items and you'll find what is edible. You may miss a few classes because you slept through your alarms, but you may prove to yourself just how great you are at teaching yourself. People prove they aren't worth keeping in your life, but you'll always have the memories and crazy stories.

You'll fail an assignment or two, but you may see your professor in a whole new positive light when you actually seek them out for help. Your week days will drag on sometimes, but I promise you there is always a weekend just around the corner.

So here is to the start of the fall semester and all it has in store. May it treat you well, bring you many memories to make you smile in the years to come and may you not absolutely hate your classes!

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.
