Even though I keep up with popular shows today and binge TV on Netflix like everyone else, some of the shows I will watch make me really rethink whether I am actually a college student. I’m not saying they’re shows for only old people, but the ads that play while they’re on are pretty much for either arthritis or a movable seat that takes you up the stairs. Here are 10 shows that prove that I’m truly an old person at heart!

1. "Wheel of Fortune"

2. "Jeopardy"

Same thing goes for "Jeopardy." Watching the awkward interviews at the beginning is actually hilarious, and I always try and guess the questions' answers (even though I’m right maybe 5% of the time).

3. "Dancing with the Stars"

If I’m home and this show is on, I have to admit that I am probably watching it with my family. I get a little too into it considering it’s a dance competition show with an audience that averages 65.

4. "General Hospital"

I definitely don’t watch this show all the time considering the fact that it’s on literally every day, but will I sit down and watch the soap drama if I see it on screen? Sadly, I most likely will.

5. HGTV Shows

I used to get confused why my parents would get mad that the couple on screen picked house #3 instead of #1, but now I totally understand. Bill and Susan- don’t turn down house #2 because of the wall color and cabinets- it has the best location and you can’t change that!

6. "The View"

If ABC is on in the morning at home (and it probably is), you know I’ll sit down to watch Whoopi Goldberg and the other hosts on "The View."

7. Food Network shows

Because "Chopped" is actually the best.

8. "Live with Kelly and Ryan"

Whether the cohost was Regis, Michael, or now Ryan, you can bet that I’m your average old person watching the show with my morning cup of coffee.

9. "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?"

I actually don’t see this show that often since it’s on in the middle of the afternoon, but it’s pretty entertaining, and me and every other 60-year-old lean forward in suspense as Chris Harrison reveals the correct answers.

10. "I Love Lucy"

This sitcom is legitimately an older show being on in the '50s, but I actually get really excited when they play reruns on TV.

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.
