Crushed Ice Cream, Phone, And Ego

One day, I was longboarding to a work center building on campus for a project I was doing. I had to bring a sheet of wood and some ice cream to the building. I had my phone in my back pocket, the sheet of wood underneath my armpit, and two cups of ice cream in both of my hands, all while longboarding. I was coming around this sharp corner and there was this girl right there. I was confident that I could whip right passed this girl, so I didn't slow down. But, then a really hot guy popped out of no where, I got distracted by his beautiful face, still didn't slow down, and I had to turn way sharper than I was prepared for. My back right wheel got caught on the sidewalk and the whole board stopped while I flew forward. Preparing for impact, I turned my whole shoulder, and scraped my whole back on the concrete. I spilled the ice cream all over myself, my phone was complelety crushed, but luckily I saved the sheet of wood that was necessary for my project. The hot guy, who in all honesty caused my crash, stopped and asked if I was okay. Of course I said I was fine, even though I was covered in ice cream and was in the worst pain of my entire life. I was too embarrased to say everything on my body hurt.

Nothin' But Shower Flops

A few weeks ago, I took a shower in my dorm. We have community bathrooms, so I have to leave my room to shower. When I was going back to my room, I realized I got locked out. So, I had to go to the main lobby to get a key to get inside of my room. Of course, all I had on was my towel. When I got to the lobby, my towel fell off in front of a crowd of people. It was a nightmare. Everybody was trying to not laugh at me, but they couldn't stop themselves, which just made everything worse. All I had on were my shower flops. My thighs were so white, you couldn't miss me. All the girls were giggling. Sometimes, I still get flashbacks in that lobby. Needless to say, I've never locked myself out again.

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.
