Reading is one of the most beautiful pastimes. You can live a thousand lives, in a thousand different places and meet a thousand different people within the pages of a book. However, there are many things that comprise the experience of being a book lover. Many of us have encountered these scenarios multiple times.

1. When people don't understand why you find reading so enjoyable.

2. Reading before bed and promising yourself to read only one more chapter, but suddenly its 3 a.m.

3. The. Smell. Of. Books.

4. Rereading your favorite childhood books when you're stressed because it's the best form of comfort media.

5. You could spend the rest of your life in a bookstore.

6. The moment when things start to make sense.

7. Your parents asking where all your money went.

8. When your favorite character dies.

9. You fall head over heels for a fictional boy/girl.

10. You are actually very low maintenance.

11. The feeling you get when you finish an amazing book.

12. When someone tells you to get your nose out of a book.

13. You hate when people interrupt your reading.

14. When your friends don't like reading.

15. When the next book in the series does not come out until next year.

16. Finishing an epic book and then entering a reading slump because you can't find anything to pull yourself out of that void.

17. When you realize the profound impact that a certain book has had on your life.

18. You can easily read a book, or two, or three in one day.

19. Nothing will ever change the love you have for reading books.

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.

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.

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."
