Thank You For Being A Friend

I truly am surrounded by some of the most amazing individuals.

Thank You For Being A Friend

College isn’t the easiest thing in the world. Don’t get me wrong, I love college. I love the atmosphere, I love the freedom, and I love my campus and the opportunities that it offers. However, there are some nights when I’ve stayed up until 2 a.m. studying for a test that I am not the biggest fan of college. There are days when I want to sleep an extra seven hours instead of going to class.

College isn’t the easiest thing in the world; I have to say that I have the greatest support system to help get me through.

I love my friends, probably more than they could ever realize. I love that feeling when you’ve laughed so hard that you feel as though you don’t need to go to the gym for the day. I love the feeling of riding in complete silence but knowing that the people in your car are there even for the silent car rides. I love walking out of a test and finding arms open for me to cry in or celebrate with.

Whether they are fourteen hours away or two miles down the road, the people who I have surrounded myself with are a constant guidance for me in all that I do. However, I don’t think that I’ve said thank you enough. So, for all of those who deal with me when I want chocolate milk at 10 p.m. or Mexican food at 2 a.m., this is for you.

Thank you for listening.

I talk, a lot. Anyone who knows me knows that talking is my favorite thing to do. My friends have an uncanny ability to listen to everything that I say, even when I’m not saying it, and I am so thankful for that.

Thank you for always letting me drive.

Even though my driving may terrify you, thank you for trusting me with your life and letting me get behind the wheel and drive you to Macon, to Cookout, and to anywhere I want when I just need to drive and get away from things for a little while.

Thank you for telling me what I need to hear, even when I don’t want to hear it.

It takes an incredibly strong, courageous person to look into someone’s eyes and tell them what they don’t necessarily want to hear. I am so thankful that I have surrounded myself with people who are honest with me, even when honesty isn’t what I want to accept or believe.

Thank you for loving me.

Even when I don’t want to be alone. Even when I just want to watch Nicholas Sparks movies and eat ice cream. Even when I scare you away because I’m so upset. Thank you for continuing to love me through my ups, my downs, and the in-betweens. You truly are the most amazing individuals solely for that; I could never thank you enough.

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.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
