Going away to college means living away from home, probably getting your first roommate, and living in the dorms. That last one is probably the biggest change. You're no longer able to sleep in the comfort of your own bed but you do get to live steps away from some of your best friends. I asked people what they loved/hated about living in the dorms.

1. I love being close to food.

I honestly don't know what I'll do when I no longer have a meal plan.

2. I hate my roommate's boyfriend.

Yikes...

3. I love the proximity to campus.

Although, sometimes I can't even bring myself to walk the four minutes from my dorm to the dining hall.

4. It kind of just sucks.

Dorms are just a no go.

5. I love being around so many people.

You'll never be bored with so many people living around you. Every time you step out of your room there's probably at least three people hanging out outside.

6. I hate sharing a room.

Having to share such a small space with another person can take some getting used to.

7. I love meeting people.

Maybe the person living two doors down from you will end becoming one of your closest friends.

8. I hate how people were loud at night.

Sometimes you really just need to go to bed.

9. I hate having to be quiet at like 10.

Do people actually get to go to bed at 10 though? I need to meet these people.

10. I love being able to walk into my bff's room whenever.

You'll probably meet some of your best friends in college and the best part is, they'll live steps away from you!

You never know what you're going to get when living in the dorms.

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

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.
