Been home for about a week and I already miss a few things about school.

Things I Do and Don't Miss About School
Forbes

There are so many great things about being home and away from school that I have started to realize in my first summer back home from school. I guess I didn't always appreciate everything that was available to me at home. I've been thinking about the things I took for granted but also the things I will miss about school. College was really special but I will for sure enjoy the three months of not paying for everything myself and edible food.There are a few things about college life that I can't get at home. I've only been home for about a week, but I've been thinking about the things I will miss about being at school and the things I won't.

1. I miss having a few of my best friends and favorite people in the world close to me all the time. Spending so much time with these people makes it crazy to have to be away from them for so long.

2. I don't miss eating the same meal every day because the dining hall doesn't have other food.

3. I miss the late nights sitting on the lounge floor, eating pizza, trying to do homework with my best friends.

4. I don't miss depriving myself of sleep because I didn't start my homework early enough.

5. I miss laughing about the most stupid things at 4 a.m.

6. I don't miss having to stay up all night.

7. I miss being able to make all of my own decisions.

8. I don't miss having to remember every single thing I have to do because no one is around to tell me what to do and feeling pretty clueless about everything.

9. I miss my bed and the funny little conversations I would have with my roommate before we fell asleep.

10. I don't miss paying for laundry twice a week.


11. I miss having a roommate that will yell at me to clean up my stuff and take care of me when I need to be.

12. I don't miss going to class and taking tests.

13. I miss having a house full of some of the best girls I have ever met that can make me feel better instantly.

My first year at college was so fun and I met so many amazing people. So wonderful to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
