This one is for you.

This one is for you.

This one is for you, because you make me want to be a better person. You think of others before ever thinking of yourself and will go out of your way to make others happy and cared for. I can't even count how many times I've sat back and watched you selflessly help people just because you could and not because you thought it made you look good or wanted something in return.

This one is for you, because you share my passion for music. You have no idea how much it means to me to have someone that I can discuss and analyze lyrics to songs that have changed my life with and that you share the music that has changed your life with me. I can not wait for all the concerts we'll go to together in the future and scream at the top of our lungs and then cry afterwards because we're sad it's over, but happy it happened.

This one is for you, because even though you're over 100 miles away, I know you still care, whether it be a simple "This reminds me of you" text or tagging each other in a Buzzfeed post on Facebook about dogs. We don't talk as often as we used to or see each other as much, but when we do it's like nothing has changed.

This one is for you, because you accept me for who I am even when I don't. You're the first and only person who has ever told me to not apologize for being emotional. I know that I'm a lot to handle sometimes, but I'm so grateful that you decide to stay and put up with me.

This one is for you, because you're you. Even on the days that you consider your worst, you inspire me. You are strong, know what you believe in, and know what you want. You are kind and beautiful and brilliant and hilarious. You exude confidence even when you don't feel like it or know that you do. You are an absolute force to be reckoned with. You're my best friend and "platonic soulmate." I thank God that He blessed me with you.

I want you to read this when you have an off day or a rainy season. Read this when you're homesick. Read this when you don't do as well as you would have liked on a test. Read this when someone (or I) let you down or you feel like you've let someone else down. Read this when you're in a bad mood for no reason, because this one is for you.

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.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
