It is a new semester and that means it is another chance to make it a great one. No matter what, there are always going to be some toxic people that will bring you down. So, here are a few people to avoid in college:

1. Gossip girl or guy.

This person wants to talk about any and every thing. He or she usually has nothing nice to say and just do not know when to stop talking. Do not let that individual drag you into drama that does not involve you.

2. The Whiner.

This person complains all the time about stuff that is his or her fault. Try not to get too involved with this person because eventually it becomes your responsibility to fix the problems and it is your fault if anything goes wrong.

3. "It was the professor, not me!"

This individual blames the professor for everything. The professor is just unfair and absolutely hates them. NO! The truth is you just did not do the work and you are mad because you got a zero. Leave this person alone and try to limit your contact with him or her.

4. The person who never does the homework. 

The homework is never done and they never have the notes. Do not become a source for this person. It is okay to say no.

5. The "just do it tomorrow" person. 

This person procrastinates a lot and expects you to do the same. They don't want to do "nothing" alone, but you cannot afford to join them.

6. The "can you cover for me?" person. 

This person is always skipping or disappearing and expecting you to cover for them. Just do not do it.

7. The "I'm sorry, but not really" person. 

This is the fake friend. He or she will treat you like dirt, use you, and give you a fake apology. You were never a friend to them, but just an object for them to use.

Push these toxic people out of your life. Do not allow them to bring you down. Make 2019 great!

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.
