Pictures speak a thousand words... need I say more?

2. Quality Soccer

This one is for the real soccer fans. The World Cup is a great way to admire your idols as they embarrass your enemies' idol. These guys will also make you feel better that you did not make your high school soccer team. There really are people out there with better skill... sorry.

3. Not Quality Soccer

If real soccer isn't your thing, this one will still give you a little bit of happiness. Watching grown men throw themselves on the floor and whine like a 7-year-old is quite a sight to see. I think a middle school girl could hold her own better than some of these men.

4. Pleasing To The Eye

Gerard Piqué. Matt Hummels. Ramadan Sobhi. André Silva. Fahad Al-Muwallad. Alireza Jahanbakhsh. Go ahead and look them up. Watch their game. You can thank me later.

5. Funny Faces From The Crowd

People watchers!! This one is for you! Nothing is better than watching people's reactions in the crowd when something happens on the field. A soccer game can reallyyy be life changing, or so they act like it.

6. Countries Come Together

Thirty-two countries meet up every four years to battle it out at one of the world's most competitive sport tournaments. You and your rivals could never.

Now that I have thoroughly convinced you to watch a World Cup soccer game, go turn one on and enjoy before it ends!

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
