1. When you were a happy "go-getting" freshman and decided to take an 8 a.m. math lecture.

You know when you came straight out of high school thinking you get up for school at 6 a.m. and have plenty of energy for the day. Well.... congratulations! You have just made the first of many mistakes you will make on this college journey.

2. One word... Procrastination

You think you have all the time in the world. After all, it is only a 10-page essay. You can just write it tomorrow....tomorrow..... okay the next day....okay Saturday morning will be perfect, you have Sunday...*Sunday night at 8 p.m.*... AH OH MY GOD HOW WILL I EVER GET THIS FINISHED BY MY 8 A.M. LECTURE!!!!.... Casually picks up phone and scrolls through Snapchat one last time before finally committing to your essay... and you need a nap now... okay... *grabs 4 cups of expresso* now let's start.

3. Late night Netflix binges

You know you should be stu-DYING but Grey Anatomy is so much more interesting than your anatomy homework. You sit there and think, " I can't wait to do what Meridith Grey is doing in a few years" while you are avoiding everything possible to get to where she is.

4. Fast food is life

You know your body can't run on Doritos and Dr. Pepper all week... But somehow you make a terrible 3000 calories a day work.

5. Sleep deprivation is real

From late night Netflix binges to staying up late at a party, you manage to get approximately 53 minutes of sleep a night.

6. And lastly, you know the money struggle is real

Its amazing how when you get paid, you can make a $300 biweekly check stretch between all of your expenses. You have successfully mastered the art of blowing $280 in one day and making $20 last the next $13 days until you get paid again.

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.
