To The Men Of KU Basketball

From the Jayhawk Nation.

To The Men Of KU Basketball

After taking a few days to settle down and filter through all my emotions I felt during the University of Oklahoma versus the University of Kansas basketball game, I can now say thank you -- not only for one of the most exciting games in NCAA history, but for every game I have watched you play and will continue to watch you play. I believe that it is not a KU basketball game unless you've gone through about 100 different emotions. You boys keep us on our toes, always guessing, and never allowing us to stray for one second from watching your games.

To our veterans Mason, Selden, Graham, Manning, Mykhailiuk, Self, Greene, Traylor, Lucas, Ellis, and Mickelson: Thank you for showing our new players the way we do it here at KU, and being phenomenal examples. When you men step on the court, your fans all sit back in their seats a little more in confidence knowing you can handle whatever comes your way. You have made this 2015-2016 team what it is!

To our amazing new additions: Vick, Diallo, Bragg, Young, and Coleby. Thank you for living up to the hype when you joined the Jayhawk family. You have fit perfectly on the court with the veteran basketball players.

To the coaching staff: Thank you for always supporting our players and dedicating an extreme amount of your time to one of the greatest basketball programs in the country.

And to the one and only Bill Self: Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you for keeping KU basketball what it is for so many years, and continuing a truly amazing tradition. You always believe in those boys and stand up for them which is something every Jayhawk fan and player appreciates. You're an extraordinary coach, and we thank you for allowing KU to be your home.

The Jayhawk Nation is not the only group of people who can see this team going to the National Championship. Here in Lawrence, we live for watching the KU basketball team and this year's team is the whole package! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, as well as hearts of Jayhawk fans all across this World. You men put a smile on our faces every day.

This team is going to do amazing things.

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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.
