Hugging my parents as they head out my dorm room door

Wiping away tears and finishing the decor

Checking the time for 4:30 p.m, where I meet who's all on my floor

Making new friends and finding out where everyone is from

Excited for the week's festivities and meeting new people, including alum

Running through the columns and eating tiger stripe ice cream, yum!

Finding out my roommate and I share the same birthday

It that how they paired us?...no way!

Family is here for Labor Day weekend, I'm 18 years old today!

Walking 22 minutes across campus to my 10 a.m. class

Listening to a Spotify playlist while unfamiliar faces pass

Signed up for Mizzou Rec cycling that basically kicked my…..

Obsessing over the stir fry at the dining hall

Dreading Sunday nights when the laundry room is a complete free-for-all

Counting down the days until break, where I won't need to give my mom a facetime call

Reserving Monday nights for Bachelorette viewing

Hiking, hammocking and sunset brewing

Exploring Columbia, Missouri with my pals...what else would we be doing?

Traveled with magazine club….what up New York, I'm here!

Now it's second semester and time for the snow to disappear

Rushed Kappa Alpha Theta….highlight of the new year

Now it's present day….let's get you up to date

Playing intramural soccer, Tuesday night's at 8

Freshman year at Mizzou….I'd say it's pretty great

Letter To My High School Friend Group

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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
