To my dear car chapstick

All melted to goo.

The summer took you too soon

I will forever miss you.


My lips feel so dry and rough

Now, that you are gone.

I tried to save you, I swear,

With my maximum AC on.


But you had already turned to mush

Within my car's cup holder.

I wish we could have grown together

As we both got older and older.


But we didn't get that chance

To reach your tube's end.

But then again I never have been able to do that.

Cause it is just too damn hard, my friend.


I have lost too many chapsticks.

Your loss being the most gruesome.

But at least this time it isn't my fault

As it is when I just lose em'.


But the moral of the story is

That you were trapped in my car's confines.

And I'm sorry I could not rescue you

From the harsh summer sunshine.


And I do not want to replace you.

Because your memory still haunts me.

Not to mention, it would melt too.

Summer is meant to be car-chapstick-free :(

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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.
