5 Signs You Are A Senior At The University Of Iowa

In my few years of being a Hawkeye, I've picked up a few things...

5. You Have Mastered the Art of Textbook Buying

Who needs the school's bookstore when you have social media and eBay? Just one post in your classes Facebook group and next thing you know you are getting a $50 textbook for a fraction of the cost from a classmate's third cousin twice removed who's roommate took the course last year.

4. You Try to Go to as Many Downtown Events as Possible

What is this freshman year? Suddenly you are eager to take every flyer on the Pentacrest since you know this will be your last year of doing so. And you didn't realize how much you missed the free food and swag until now.

3. Despite Our Size, You Actually Know People in Your Class

This especially comes up in your major's courses. And as someone in a lot of courses with group projects this is a blessing in disguise. Now when I walk into a classroom and see my friends, we all immediately look at the syllabus to see if there's any projects for us to collaborate on together again. And some might turn out to be resume boosters!

2. You're a Professional Napper

Although this entirely depends on your schedule, you know how amazing a 30 minute power nap can feel, especially after a long lecture. As someone who as a toddler refused to nap, I am trying to make up for the missed counting sheep moments now.

1. You Don't Find Your Class Until Minutes Before

At this point in your college career you know that if you're taking a class in a certain field, chances are it will be in a certain building. And as a student in cinema and mass communications this is especially true since Adler and Becker are connected. So even if you're wrong, you just need to walk across the bridge!

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.
