Ahh, the existential crisis. The moment when you begin to question the meaning of life. If you're like me, the existential crisis is inevitable, just one stray thought and you suddenly find yourself falling in to the wormhole of you own mind, questioning the purpose of like, if there is such thing as coincidence, and what the future could possibly hold. Heavy stuff I know. I find that when dealing with the existential crisis, it always helps to have some good music to aid in the transition into the pit of despair that is inevitable. As a result, I created a playlist to put on shuffle during my weekly existential crisis. Here are 13 of the best songs to listen to when your existential crisis hits.

1. "The Wolves (Act I and II)"- Bon Iver

2. "For My Help" -Hayden Calnin

3. "Chasing Cars"- Sleeping At Last

4. "Take Me to Church"- Hozier

5. "Erased- Kyla La Grange

6. "Hallelujah"- Jeff Buckley

7. "Don't Forget About Me"- Cloves

8. "Can't Pretend"- Tom Odell

9. "Way Down We Go"- Kaleo

10. "Modern Man"- Arcade Fire

11. "Let It Go"- James Bay

12. "The Sound of Silence"- Simon & Garfunkel

13. "Hurt"- Johnny Cash

I hope these songs can help you trough your next existential crisis. Happy thinking!

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.
