All the wonderful things that come with being a dog.

You have to admit dogs have it pretty good. Here are just a few perks of being a dog.

1. The world is your toilet!

Dogs aren't expected to use toilets like humans. They go wherever they want! Just think of the freedom!

2. Sniffing butts is socially acceptable.

Dogs have pretty much no sense of personal space. They sniff each other's butts to get acquainted! You ever see humans sniffing each others butts? No, because that would be wierd. Humans just can't get away with that kind of stuff. Dogs though, manage to get away with this without any questions.

3. Licking people.

Why? Because they can. No one is really sure why dogs do this, but everyone just seems to accept it and let it be.

4. Naps!

Dogs take naps whenever and wherever they want. They have no pressing matters to attend to so naps are an option 24/7.

5. No job.

Of course there are exceptions to this: police dogs, service dogs, etc. However, dogs don't have the normal stresses that humans face like making money and paying bills. They don't have a lot of worries.

6. Low expectations

Honestly, most people don't expect a lot from their dogs. If you don't go potty in the house or chew up everything in the house, you're practically golden! Being a 'good dog' really isn't too difficult. With not a lot expected of them, dogs don't have many worries.

7. Treats

People give you treats all the time just because you are cute or for doing the most insignificant things like sitting or laying down.

8. No clothes

The freedom! Dogs aren't restricted by uncomfortable clothing. They can run around in the nude and no one freaks out. Humans aren't quite so lucky; running around in the nude is frowned upon in human societies. People can even be arrested for going out into public nude, but not dogs.

9. Taken care of by others

Like babies, dogs are taken care of by people, but unlike babies, even when dogs grow up they are still pampered and taken care of just the same.

10. Baths

Not only are dogs not expected to take baths near as often as people, but when they do take a bath, all they have to do is stand there while someone else washes and cleans them! Also drying off just takes a few shakes!

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.
