Every person wants something different from a relationship.

And knowing what your parents, friends and significant others look for in a relationship can help you have a better relationship with them. Whether they enjoy receiving gifts, hearing words of affirmation, or just spending time with those important to them, knowing what is most important to them will help you have healthier and happier relationships.

My college roommate introduced me to '"The 5 Love Languages." By marriage counselor, Dr. Gary Chapman, the 5 Love Languages official assessment uncovers your love language and helps you begin to improve a relationship. Your love language profile will explain your primary love language, what it means and how you can use it to connect with others.

With Valentine's day coming up, taking this quiz and asking your partner to do the same, could help you plan the best Valentine's Day you've had in a long time. Even if you think your relationships is going great and couldn't be better, being aware of each other's love languages could make a great relationship even better. Or if you struggle to get along with your mom, or if you even just want to be closer to your best friend, this Love Languages quiz will help.

Click "Learn Your Love Language" to take the quiz: http://www.5lovelanguages.com/

The 5 Love Languages are:

Words of Affirmation - You respond to words of praise.

Acts of Service - For you, actions speak louder than words.

Receiving Gifts - Receiving gifts makes you feel most loved and thought of.

Quality Time - Their undivided attention means the world.

Physical Tough - Just being able to hold someone's hand is all you ask.


Dr. Chapman has also written several books that can help with happiness in all aspects of your life. From "Rising Above A Toxic Workplace" to "The 5 Love Languages Singles Edition" and "The Love Languages of Teenagers," Dr. Chapman has covered it all.

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.
