The End Of Fall Semester As Told By Blair Waldorf

Because nothing says "finals are almost upon us" like a Blair Waldorf eye roll.

Blair Waldorf

It's toward the end of most colleges' fall semester and, let's be honest with ourselves, we've all pretty much given up. Considering the amount of stress that the end of the semester brings, what with trying to maintain good grades and bring up bad ones, cramming for multiple exams and trying to finish papers and projects for almost every class, we're all kind of doomed. Tack on the several extracurricular activities we're all involved in and the fact that we're collectively exhausted enough to actually hibernate this winter and you'll get a true sense of what being a college student at this time of the year is really like. We all have our coping mechanisms, most of them involving Netflix, because why worry about tomorrow when you can binge watch your favorite series today? My personal favorite at the moment is Gossip Girl, so I figured why not combine my own personal end-of-the-semester dread with the expressive eye rolls and dramatic sighs of Blair Waldorf? I sincerely hope you enjoy wasting time that you could be spending getting work done laughing at these memes and gifs. You're welcome, in advance.

1. When someone asks how your semester is going.

Your response:


Reality:

2. When your professor assigns an extra paper before the end of term.



3. When someone tries to tell you that you're being too melodramatic about the amount of work you have left to do.


4. When other people say they got an A on an exam that you failed.

5. When other people say they failed an exam that you got an A on.

Externally:

Internally:

6. What you're dreaming about doing over winter break.

7. When someone tries to convince you that they're more stressed than you are.



8. When someone humble brags about getting an adequate amount of sleep and you got less than an hour last night.


9. When someone cute passes you in the library, but you haven't washed your hair in two weeks and the bags under your eyes are bigger than the textbook you're reading.

10. When your professor sets the exam time for 7:30 AM.

11. When someone's lack of effort on a group project could bring down your grade right before the semester ends.

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.
