I don't want to enter the real world.

It's like yesterday we were taking our SATs to try and get into our dream school. Here it is ... four years later we are graduating from college. It is crazy how time goes by so fast. College: you have been amazing. Thank you for the great times and memories I'll be able to remember forever. Thank you for the tailgates and new friends. And most importantly — thank you for getting me a college degree. Some of us aren't ready to move onto the next chapter of our lives. Some people, like me, aren't ready to go into the 'real' world. Here's to every rising college senior and all the thoughts we may have!

1. Did I actually buy my last football ticket package?

2. Do I really have to leave my best friends in a year?

3. How do I make new friends?

4. Are my C's going to get me my degree?

5. Can I go out every night like I did in college?

6. If not, I need to go out as much as possible this year.

7. When do I have to start paying my loans?

8. Where do I get my money from now?


9. Can I wear a t-shirt and shorts to work?


10. Can I skip work like I can skip class?

11. How do I cook?


12. How do I find a job?

13. Should I fail now and go back?


14. Or do I go to grad school?


15. Do I have to live with my parents again?


16. What do I don't if I don't get a job?

17. What are my friends doing?


18. How did some of my friends already get jobs?!

19. Do I ACTUALLY have to be a real adult?

20. Most importantly ... what am I going to do with my life?

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.
