Tea Is An All The Time Appropriate Gift

Not just the times where you expect tea to be given.

I might be that old lady who loves to drink tea. Think of the last time you went out and got a box of tea bags and made the tea in hot water and just drank it? Maybe add some honey or sugar? Without being sick or fearing being sick, just drank tea?

Yeah, I didn't think you could think you would have a last time. And if you do, kudos, not many people do.

So for the mass majority of the population, hot tea is reserved for really occasions, old people and being sick, but for me, hot tea is a good drink to have to unwind, when it's cold outside, not when its hot outside but maybe for when I feel like it in my house and observing the hotness outside, or really just any occasion. Therefore, tea should be a present for my birthday (January 30th, just in case you wanted to know), a treat in a gift bag for Halloween, a thank you gift around thanksgiving and a Christmas present (only in December does Christmas present apply) (Just saying).

For the tea lovers out there, you'll understand it when I say I want loose leaf tea, not the ones in prepackaged bags. Maybe even the teas that are bundled up flowers that bloom in the hot water. There's more than just the Lipton that comes on the cute little bag. There's also the matter of the filtering cups, the ones that you put loose leaf tea in then you pour water and then filter the tea leaves out with the filter, those are good! Sometimes, people just use some ginger root as there tea.

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.
