Why I Am Not A Party Animal
www.hercampus.com

When people hear that I am twenty they just assume I am going out partying with my friends on nights that I come home at one in the morning. The truth is the opposite, I would rather go to my friends house in pajamas and watch Disney movies until 1 am. I would rather sit around a campfire, making a life time of memories that I know I am going to cherish everyday.

I want to be able to remember what happened the night before. Why would I want to forget all the memories that I made? I'm tired of being judged for not being a party animal. If I want to go out until 1am with my friends I am going to do it, sober. When people ask me, "aren't you twenty shouldn't you be out partying or doing drugs?" I get annoyed.

Those are the most immature people that you will ever meet.

I am not sorry for wanting to do things sober. I don't regret saying no drugs and alcohol. The best times of my life are the times that I have had sober, and I do not regret it. People need to stop being persuaded by other people. You don't have to follow what everyone is doing.

You can be you. Being you is the best thing that you could do for yourself. If someone asks why you don't party your reply should be, "I'm just being me", and they should not question you any further. It's your life and you could do whatever you want with it.

Don't ever think that your'e not of the "norm" if you spend a night inside sleeping instead of out partying.

Don't think that you are missing out if you are only in your twenty's and people are out partying you still have your whole life ahead of you. Don't be afraid to just stay inside one night and relax I promise you the party you were mad about missing is going to seem so silly to you in just a few months.

My advice to you is just to have fun. You don't need to party to have fun all you need are pajamas and movies, take my word for it.

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.
