With only nineteen years under my belt, I'm not going to pretend I'm some expert at this thing called living. But, I will list off the best pieces of advice I can give you at this point in my Millenial, college student way of life. (Note that some lessons were learned easier than others).

1. Brand yourself and develop your own style.

2. Take chances.

3. Know that everything must come to an end.

4. True friendships can survive long distance.

5. Relationships that belong in the past cannot.

6. Never beg for attention.

7. Don't expect it either.

8. Uber drivers are wild cards.

9. Remember to eat three meals a day.

10. It's okay to be vulnerable.

11. Talking on the phone can be the most comforting thing.

12. People will like you more if you're on time.

13. Money is easier to spend than obtain.

14. Tequila is usually a bad idea.

15. Everyone has their own story.

16. Everyone has their own future.

17. People change.

18. Everything is fragile, never to be taken for granted.

19. Family takes priority.

20. Social media can be deadly.

21. Beyonce is queen.

22. Wash laundry on the cold water setting when you're feeling lazy.

23. Plane tickets and travel is very expensive.

24. Sundays are for cleaning and relaxing.

25. More stuff doesn't equal more satisfaction.

26. Practice your signature.

27. Some people see life as solely a competition.

28. Don't be that person.

29. Drink more water than coffee.

30. Invest in people that invest in you.

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

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.
