Let me start by acknowledging I'm nothing special, so I find it hard to believe
That a woman like you would ever take it to be true that I'm more than a mark that'll bleed
My scar-covered wings show harm from the things that are barely removed, not as far as it seems
My heart's smithereens, but you keep approaching, tryna do your part to relieve

I could not comprehend the concept of a pure soul
Who looks at me sincerely and would ever find me beautiful
Is your vision broken? Is your head right?
Or have I been hurt too much and I always assume to tread light?

I'm sorry, I'ma need a second, I'm gonna have to ask you to repeat the message
You mean to bless me with your gleaming presence and you swear to God it's not a scheme or deathwish?
I'm dragged through the underworld, and you make the trip to bring a piece of heaven?
I'm sorry for my cynical ways, but I'm a pea shooter and you're a lethal weapon

I theorize, I ponder, while we take our gusted saunter
Do you see any part of me I've missed? Am I more to you than a monster?
I'd never think I'm worth a glance, but you locked eyes with me
And I believe the time to be suspicious has arrived to me

But it's like, finally! For once, I can get comfortable
You bring me sanctity when home gets too dysfunctional
I say I'm combustible, you tell me that you like the heat
You've quelled the demons taunting me
I would fight for weeks

You're always there when the voices, they refuse to stop
And refuse to stop and refuse to stop, they never go away, they refuse to stop
You hug me tight and refuse to stop and I stand with you and refuse to stop
The bomb counting down will blow any minute, but you're always there to get the fuse to stop

I don't think I've ever met a woman of your pedigree
Who will push and support and try her hardest to reveal the best of me
When I think I'm suffocating, you take me and give me breath to breathe
And let me just say, those thighs you got are gonna be the death of me

Agony to ecstacy, doubt into swagger
You give me strength to stay stalwart when I'm staggered
I love you so much, and that's unquestionable and factual
I want to take your hand and make sure we're never detachable

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.

two women enjoying confetti

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.
