Now that my time is coming to an end, I've been reflecting on some of the things I've learned from being a contributor to the Odyssey during my time at school. It's a great opportunity to get experience while you're still in school and earn a few bucks if you can crack the code like some creators.

1. How to make a bomb listicle

You can list almost anything in a clever way after a little bit of experience.

2. You can properly attribute any photo

Even the ones that you take yourself.

3. You can meet a weekly deadline

Without anyone breathing down your neck about it, you manage just fine.

4. You can make any need for an extension sound professional

You're hungover, but you can't say that. So let's talk about how you are 'currently unable' to write.

5. You can brainstorm like nobody's business

Your own articles, helping other people, rewriting, and all.

6. You can flip a headline around

Restaurant lists become "places for amazing eats."

7. You can self-edit anything

But you still appreciate all of the people behind you.

8. You can put CMS expert on your resume

Because you're basically a wizard by now.

9. You have a .GIF for everything

Because you never know which one you'll need.

10. A little team spirit over email

It's always nice to see one of your team members being in the top shared article of the week.

11. You have random tid bits of expertise

Listicles of odd numbers do better. Personal photos do better. Just things to think about.

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.
