You're my best friend, even if I'm mad at you.

An Open Letter To My Older Sister
KC Welch

Big Sis,

I don't say it very often, but I appreciate you. I know I can be annoying sometimes, but that doesn't stop you from loving me. When I was younger and people told us that we would be best friends one day, I didn't believe them, but here we are.

I know we argue, but I also know there is no one that cares about me as much as you do. We've been through a lot together and I'm thankful just to have you around, because it would have been so much harder if I was an only child.

Thank you for making mistakes and showing me what not to do. Thank you for supporting me in everything I do, even if you don't think it's the best option for me. Thank you for telling me that high school kids are stupid when I came home after a bad day. Thank you for letting me wear your clothes all the time. Thank you for answering my phone calls even when you're busy. Thank you for letting me do everything you did- including guard and working at the same place as you. Thank you for buying me food. Thank you for driving me everywhere before I could drive and even occasionally now. Thank you for doing my makeup for prom and many other occasions. Thank you for just being you.

Some of my greatest memories involve you and I will cherish those forever. Remember when we went to Kansas City for a weekend? What about our dinner and a movie dates?

I love you so much and after looking back on these past 19 years, I don't know how I would have done it without you. You mean the world to me and I hope you know that.

You're my best friend and you will never understand how much that means to me.

Your Little Sister,

Bean

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.
