The definition of strict parents varies from family to family.

Sometimes, I watch an episode of "World's Strictest Parents" and I either scoff or feel a little more grateful for my parents. However, no matter the intensity, I found that these 13 things are some traits that are common across all strict families

1. You're always the first to leave at any gathering or occasion.

2. What's a sleepover?

Followed by:

"Why? You have your own bed here!"

3. Your mail looks like this.

10. Your reaction to when your friend disrespects their parents.

11. Retweeting tweets like "going on spontaneous adventures with friends at 2 am >>>" knowing damn-well that you're not going anywhere at 2 am.

12. Sitting on your parents' bed and pretending to be interested in their shows before you ask to do something.

13. Despite it all, you can agree that it has made you into a better human being.

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: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

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.
