When you go to college, it's all too easy to fall out of touch with the people you considered your best friends in high school. However, it doesn't have to be that way, and it isn't all that bad. In fact, having a few long distance BFFs actually has its perks.

1. When you do meet up, you talk for HOURS.

Giphy

You have so much to tell them. You probably haven't seen them in at least a month, two months or maybe even more. That leaves room for lots and lots of talking. You try, but you just can't tell them everything over a simple text message. You're going to say so much they'll want you to stop talking (as if that's even possible).

2. You get to give them the biggest squeeze of ALL TIME.

Giphy

When you see them for the first time in forever, you get to give them a massive hug. You're honestly not going to want to let them go for a least a few minutes (maybe even hours, but who's counting).

3. You get to do all of your favorite things together.

Giphy

You can eat at all your favorite restaurants, paint your nails, watch your favorite movies and do everything you have missed doing without them.

4. You can spend some good old fashioned QUALITY TIME together.

Giphy

Maybe you go skating together, maybe you just sit and binge-watch a new TV show together, but either way, when you can finally reunite, you spend as much quality time together as possible.

5. You get that warm and fuzzy feeling.

Giphy

They're your best friends, and every time you see them (and especially when you haven't seen them in a long time), you get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. You're heart is smiling.

6. You spend way too much (in the best of ways)?

Giphy

You're frugal all year round, but when you and your besties are finally reunited, you spend money on ALL. THE. THINGS. Coffee, food, shopping and more. It's a real good time.

7. You get to see their parents (who are really your second parents).

Giphy

You love your best friends, but you love their parents too. It's a good time all around.

8. You get to go on the best adventures.

Giphy

Whether it's an adventure down the street, to the next town over or across the state, when you and your best friends are together, you go on the best adventures ever. Just being in the car with your best friends, driving down the street and listening to music, is a real good time.

9.  You treasure every second you spend together.

Giphy

Every moment you all spend together is extra special because you know you can't do it all the time. If anything, when your time is precious, so are the memories, no matter what.

10. You make the best memories.

Giphy

And on that note, you get to make the best of memories. They're special, and you'll treasure them forever because when it comes down to it, after you go to college, those memories become few and far between. However, that doesn't mean they're any less special.

No matter how long it has been, there's no greater feeling of friendship than the one you get when you finally reunite with your BFFs.

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.
