It's an experience that, hopefully, turns out to be a great one!

Reasons To Consider Experiencing the "College Life"
Longwood University

If you're almost at the point in life where you're debating on going to college or not, or even if you're already in college and are wondering if the "college life" is your thing, just do it. Go to college. Stay in college. It's an experience that not everyone is lucky enough to get.

Here are a few reasons to consider experiencing the "college life":

1.) Lifelong friends.

In college, you'll meet some of the most amazing friends you can ever have. In college, I have met so many people who I don't know what I would do without. I am so glad that I met them.

2.) The diversity.

You meet a variety of people when you go to college. It's interesting to see the diversity among people. You get to learn about others during your first year, mainly, but also throughout the later years, too. The typical conversation starter is "Where are you from?" or "What's your major?"

3.) The education.

I can't leave out the education! College is a dramatic change from high school, but if you know what you want to do in the real world, then college is what gets you towards your future.

4.) The journey.

In college, you learn how to be more independent. It is most definitely a journey to remember. You'll probably even do things you'd never thought you'd do. Have fun, but also take it seriously. You will experience good and bad days, but if you make the days count, it will all be worth it.

Hopefully, you make memories funny enough to tell your kids and even grand-kids one day!

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.
