New Year's (Never) Resolutions
Gretchen Rubin

New Year's Resolutions are the best part of New Year's, am I right? No. They are the most tedious. Which is why 90% of the time, these resolutions are not kept for the next 365 days. Here is a list of the most popular unkept New Year's Resolutions.

1.) Working Out

We all know that we have said this at least once in our lives, so what's the issue. Well, we have those days where we just don't feel good and we are sick and we just don't want to work out anymore.

2.) Stay Fit and Healthy

I know I have said this one in the past, too. But this is the easiest to break. We always say "Oh well today is my cheat day!" but then those cheat days just become more and more frequent until we even forget that we're supposed to be staying healthy.

3.) Fall in Love

This is a simple solution. You cannot force yourself to fall in love. It will happen when it is meant to happen.

4.) Spend Less, Save More

Good luck. That's all I can say. You say this now but in a month or two, your favorite movie came out on DVD and you have to buy it. Or there was this really cool thing that you saw in the store that you HAVE to get...well, spending less does not last for too long but it was worth a try!

5.) Spending More Time With Family and Friends

This one is favorably achievable. Sometimes, though, it just does not work out when you get upset at a family member or friend so you stop hanging out with them.

These are just a few of the many possible New Year's Resolutions that people do not keep. So this year, when making your resolution: Keep it simple, make it tangible, and remember it EVERY DAY.

Good Luck!!

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.
