5 Reasons I Love Saint Paddy's Day

It's not just the drinks.

The College of Wooster

1. Pittsburgh's Saint Patrick's Day Parade

Every year my family and I go to the parade, sneak in a 6-pack and snacks and cheer on all the Irish dancers. The bagpipes scream for two hours and we paint green shamrocks on each other's faces. It's great.

2. Parties!

I actually don't know of any here at the College yet but I came prepared with my bright shamrock leggings. My fam back home is having a party over spring break though and I can't wait to see everyone from home dance to Irish folk music and drink too much whiskey.

3. Food

Everything is green, everything is mint. Mint is literally my favorite year-round - but in all of March it is so much easier to find a mint shake. I LOVE GREEN. I LOVE MINT. Ahh. Breugger's bagels make these adorable festive bagels, so fresh and so festive.

4. Spring Break

Spring breeeeeak! I get to see my baby puppy and cat and put unnecessary green hair accessories on them. Trust me, they love it. I'll also get to go get shamrock shakes with my loved ones and not have to worry about chemistry or calculus.

5. Irish Pride

I am so freaking white, and I have a lot of German and Irish ancestry. I am the third generation since my fam immigrated so everyone still gets pumped for celebrating Irish culture and pumping those traditional jams.

Have fun and stay safe this St. Paddy's 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: 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
