You've done it.

You've made it past those dreaded midterm exams, papers, or presentations. What's left? The popular show, Parks and Recreation, describes what's in store for a college student at the end of the semester.

1. When you convince yourself the second half of you'll do better than the first:

Yeah, well a girl can dream can't she?

2. When November 1st rolls around:

It's time to replace those Halloween door decorations with Christmas decorations!

3. When there's still assignments you need the grade for:

The drop period has already come and gone, but

4. When its time to register for spring classes:

Why must be registration be harder than my Fall classes?

5. When an assignment sneaks up on you:

Did you forget about me?

6. When your friends plan an epic roadtrip after a particularly stressful week:

Good music, good friends, simply good things are waiting for us on the road.

7. When your professor, who explicitly stated the opposite in the syllabus, gives an extra credit assignment:

Are you just trying to sugar-coat some awful truth? Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?

8. When you see professors assigned work over Thanksgiving break:

We're so close to the end, but how about I just quit now.

9. When Thanksgiving Holiday finally rolls around:

I'm going to need to eat extra this year to make sure I have enough energy to return to school.

10. When you turn in your last assignment for a class:

So long, Fall '17.

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.
