She believed she could but fell asleep and didn't.

In This Article:

I have no money. Sleep is a foreign experience. I miss my dogs. Please send help.

1. College or hell, who knows

I don't care what time of day it is as soon as you walk outside the heat punches you in the face and you're covered in sweat before you even get to your first class.

2. Textbooks cost more than my house

$638 for a freaking book and an access code, are you freaking serious right now?

5. Having anxiety makes it impossible to make friends easily 

Someone asked me what country I would visit if I could go anywhere and I said Europe. I said a freaking continent.

6. Parking is a thing of the past 

Apparently Clemson thought 50 parking spots was enough for 50 million people.

7. Not knowing what you want to do with your life but feeling obligated to pick a major

Two days into college I had dropped two classes and changed my major from Animal and Veterinary Sciences to Psychology and now I'm still not sure that's what I want to do.

8. You get 3,000 emails a day 

10/10 I receive more emails than text messages everyday.

9. Clean bathrooms are a rare occasion 

Pee everywhere. Toilet seat. Sink. Floor. Trashcan. Shower. Everywhere.

10. Doing laundry at 3am is the new norm

Always wanted a black eye? The laundry room is the place for that. People will literally fight you over a dryer.

11. Sleep is for the weak

I used to think going to bed at 11:30 was late. Ha! I'm lucky if I'm in bed by 2 these days.

12. Tuition costs are a bitch all by themselves 

Was literally walking out the door to go get food and got an email for first semester bills and had to walk right back inside my house and fix myself some cereal.

College sucks. There's no doubt about it, but I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. Walking 20 miles a day, living off of pop tarts and never getting any sleep is so going to be worth it once I get that degree in my hands.

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.

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.
