Friday Night Lights is the ultimate Texas high school football show.

You can't help but resonate with the small town of Dillion the deeper you get into the seasons. One of the most recognizable characters that you go from hating to love is none other than Tim Riggins. While he might be tough on the outside, Tim Riggins is a big softie at heart.

What's not to love?

His friendship/friends with benefits relationship with Tyra 

They could just kick back and hangout with each other but they also seemed to hookup most of the time whenever one of them was back in town. Oh well.

When we realized he was the "bad boy" of the show 

Every show has one, and here ladies and gentleman, it's Tim Riggins.

His love for football 

The fullback of our dreams.

His Texas twang 

I was baffled when I found out he's actually Canadian. Could've fooled me.

When he took Matt shooting when he was down 

...because that's the best way to get over a breakup, right?

When he gave Jason the game winning football 

When he went to Mexico with Jason 

...and stopped him from doing a risky operation that could have killed him.

How he always protected his teammates, on and off the field 

When he protected Julie and took her home after she drank too much at a party 

 ...And then didn't say anything when Coach Taylor thought he was taking advantage of Julie when he was trying to get her into her bed  

 When he protected Julie during a tornado 

 How he never gave up on Lyla

 Every single time he smiled 

 When he took Becky pageant dress shopping because her mom bailed 

 When we heard how Coach Taylor and Buddy spoke about him 

 How close he got to Jackie's son, Bo 

 When he found out those closest to him made him a highlight reel 

 Every time he kissed Lyla 

 When he day drank

Something about Tim not really having his life together just makes you like him more.

 When he drove around in his truck 

 When he smirked 

 When he quizzed the team on football plays 

 When he volunteer coached the East Dillion Lions with Coach Taylor 

 When he took the blame and went to prison so Billy could be a present father  

 When he wouldn't let Lyla give up on going to Vanderbilt just to stay in Texas with him 

 When he went to New York with Jason because he wanted to land a sport agent job 

 When he helped Tami Taylor with things around the house when he was staying at the Taylor's 

 How excited he was when he got into college 

 His undeniable love for Jason 

 When he apologized to the entire team 

 When he was always there for Becky 

Remember when Becky got pregnant and went to Tim?

 Every time he chanted "Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose" 

 "Texas Forever" 

Tim Riggins has a place in all our hearts and y'all know 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

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.
