The Struggle Of Being The Only Single Girl In Your Friend Group
Madison Herley

Unfortunately, we've all been single at some point in our lifetime and lucky enough I'm in the spot as of right now. So hopefully some of you single girls out there can relate to these situations and struggles. No one wants to be the only single person in their friend group, however, it happens. The times you find yourself single while all of your friends are in relationships can be very much depressing and frustrating for yourself and for your friends. If you've ever been in this position, you"ll totally relate to the following situations:

1. Forced set ups or blind dating.

Just because you're single doesn't mean you're desperate. People need to understand that just because they know a guy doesn't mean you want to sit through an awkward meal with them and pretend to want to get to know them.

2. Always being the odd one out.

You're always the one that has to sit alone because everyone else is with a partner until you end up sitting next to some creepy one man who smells bad.

3. Witnessing awkward PDA.

I get it, you're so in love, but can't you take your hands off each other for a second? I mean we're in public, and no one wants to see you making out before class.

4. People say things like, "I promise, you'll meet someone when you least expect it."

For some odd reason, people in relationships forget that this quote is to make those single people to feel better about themselves. A little advice, we hate that quote.

5. You're always taking their picture for yet another Instagram post.

How many pictures does a couple need of each other? Let's be real, I doubt people are looking forward to all the cute pictures you have been posting non-stop.

6. Your wing woman/soul sister is no longer with you.

Well, guess it's time to have fun on your own time by yourself.

7. Seeing everyone in love makes you feel even more alone.

Not that you aren't happy for them, but when everyone close to you has a significant other it just emphasizes the fact that you don't. And that feeling sucks.

8. You're sick of hearing that right now isn't the time for you.

You've heard it once, you've heard it twice. Enough is enough.

9. You will always be the third, fifth, and seventh wheel.

No comment here.

10. You find yourself drowning in work just to distract yourself.

You find yourself drowning yourself in school work, work and extra work, in order to distract yourself from being alone and the thought of it.

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.
