LADIES imagine this. It's 10 years from now. It's a Sunday morning.

You wake up to the beautiful sunrise next to your husband. You're eating Cocoa Pebbles and he's eating Lucky Charms. Your *Smart TV* has recorded 20 episodes of SpongeBob, Powerpuff Girls, Sabrina the Teenage Witch AND Fresh Prince WHILE you were sleeping. You're living your best life.

Here are 10 things you *wish* your "Smart TV" would actually do:

Increase the volume when you start eating chips.

Giphy

It is 2018. Why isn't this already a thing and why is nobody talking about that?

Shock your siblings when they try to steal the remote.

Giphy

Touch my remote ONE. MORE. TIME.

Refrains from passive aggressively asking, "are you still watching," when you so obviously are.

Giphy

Maybe a different approach would be more effective. "I'm not judging you Allyson, but are you still watching? You're right, dumb question." *continues to play the Netflix show I was binging*

Automatically pauses when the oven timer for your pizza goes off.

Giphy

What's a good movie marathon without pizza?

Pauses the movie/show you are watching if you accidentally fall asleep.

Giphy

No longer are the days you have to rewind all the way back to what you last remember.

Records nostalgic TV shows/movies you watched as a kid.

Giphy

The recording possibilities are endless. SpongeBob, Fresh Prince, Rugrats, Full House, Powerpuff Girls...

Automatically turns down the volume when you are trying to overhear a conversation in the next room.

Giphy

You can't tell me you haven't manually done this before. Imagine your TV doing it FOR you.

Tells you to get to class if you become so engulfed in a show you forget you have other responsibilities.

The TV may be smart enough to remind you not to be late, but that doesn't mean you still have to be on time.

Tells you where the remote is when you lose it.

Giphy

"You're sitting on it." Wow. Thanks, Smart TV! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Voice activated TV that answers all questions one might have while watching a movie or show.

Giphy

"What else is that actor in?"

"When was this movie released?"

"Are Jim and Pam married IRL?"

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.
