I Refuse To Let A Boy Ruin My Friendship

Nice try, but you don't have her like I do.

I feel like us girl go through a lot when our friends get new boyfriends, we suffer through seeing them every day and having their undivided attention, to barely having their attention at all. Unfortunately, some even lose friends due to their boyfriends not liking their best friend, but these boys need to realize that just because they are dating our best friends doesn't mean we come last.

Best friends and boyfriends are on two different levels when it comes to this. The best friend is there to be a comfort and help to you when you need it, boyfriends do the same but in a different way than friends can. Boyfriends can give love and support but in a completely different way.

This also is the same for guys and their girlfriends, don't just drop you boys cause your girlfriend doesn't like them, calmly explain to her that they only want the best for you and that it isn't gonna change your relationship. Girls, if your guy has a serious conversation like that, take a step back and see where he's coming from and ask yourself if you've been hurt by a friend who ditched you for a guy.

Girls, don't ditch your friends for any man. Your girls are the only people who will tell you the truth if they think you are in harm's way, they will be able to detect a bad guy before you can, does this mean their instincts are always right? Of course not, but if she truly sees a change in the way your man acts, please take it seriously and try to notice the change yourself.

Not all guys are going to be bad for your friends though, sometimes you have to realize that, but if he is constantly trying to blame you for your friend contemplating the relationship, then you need to let your friend know so they don't assume that you two are fine. Also, sort out the situation like an ADULT. Nothing is worse than trying to sort out an argument with someone who acts like a child.

I love my friend's boyfriends but I don't like being hurt by them. So, if your boyfriend or girlfriend is hurting your friend, please have a talk with them on the subject and sort it out nicely. It will be better for all of you in the long run.

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.
