Thank you for the mems.

A Letter To My Freshman Dorm
Laura Asher

Evergreen 006,

Thank you for being my home for the past 8 months while I was 6 1/2 hours away from everything that was familiar.

During the first month of school, I ran to you when the days were long and stressful. You saw me cry when I missed everything about home and when school was just too tough.

I remember the first time I called you home and I couldn't believe those words came out of my mouth. How did this dorm room become a place that I would grow to love so dearly? It no longer felt like summer camp and became one of my favorite places to spend time.

We've had some amazing times. You've watched me stay up until the sun came up because I was still working on my homework. You've watched Cristina (best roommate ever!!) and I grow closer as we shared way too many funny memories to recall. You've also seen me cry when I was sick, stay in bed and watch Netflix, and you've seen me take a tumble one too many times.

Through all of the crazy times, you were there. Thank you so much for all the memories and a wonderful freshman year. The future residents of Evergreen 006 better have just as much fun as we did!

Love,

Laura

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.
