Months of studying, complaining about the cold, and stressing have led to this moment...It's finally summer break. It's the break that all college students have waited for anxiously.

Here's how your summer will probably go:

1. Being home after a long, hard semester

School's out and you're finally home! There's so much to do: beach days, meeting all your friends, hanging out and eating all the ice cream you can... this is going to be YOUR summer.

2. Eating mama's homemade food (not that gross dining hall stuff)

First up is the good food. After almost a year of eating boring, gross dining hall food there's finally real, home cooked meals and you couldn't be more excited.

3. Reuniting with hometown friends

Nothing feels better than reuniting with high school friends. After almost an entire year of not seeing them, it feels good to be able to sit down, in person, and have a couple of good laughs again.

4. Being bored because your friends have lives

Everything was great... for like a week. Now everyone's moved on to their summer jobs, internships, and classes so you're all alone curled up in a ball watching Netflix.

5. That summer heat that makes you sweat endlessly

When the summer heat finally hits, you find yourself wondering why you ever wanted it to be warm. You will probably find yourself trying to do just about anything to keep yourself cool, even sticking yourself in the fridge.

6. Realizing that you actually miss college

Has the summer heat driven you a little crazy or are you actually starting to miss college? It's not that you miss the stress but you miss the schedule, the having something to do, the 1 a.m. chats with friends.

7. When the new semester starts soon and you know how much work you'll have

But no matter what how bored you become, you are still shocked and a little sad when you realize school will be starting again in a couple of weeks.

Even if your summer is somewhat similar to this, be appreciative for the break and time to relax because before you know if you'll be heading back to school and wishing you were on break all over again.

Have a good summer everyone!

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

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.
