Crooning and melodramatic songs just aren't my style, SORRY.

 Society has become way too sensitive.

Sorry not sorry, but some people really need to hear this: it's beyond great that we live in a world now where we can share our opinions and be who we want to be in a mostly judge-free zone. But shoving those views down other people's throats and getting easily offended just because of a misuse of word choice is getting a little out of control.

"Parks and Recreation" > "The Office"

Giphy

Unpopular opinion, but the wholesome-ness of Leslie Knope and the iconic character of Ron Swanson beat out Dunder Mifflin by just a smidge in my book.

Heavy and/or colorful makeup isn't all that pretty-looking.

Neutral colors and more natural-looking makeup is WAY more beautiful from my perspective, but you can never go wrong with an appropriate bold eye!

 My birthday actually makes me feel a certain kind of sad.

Giphy

Ever since I was little I've had a feeling of pure sadness in the pit of my stomach every time my special day rolls around. It's kind of morbid to think about, but it's true nonetheless.

 Soda isn't tasty.

I can honestly live without it... I didn't grow up with soda, so maybe that's why I feel this way. I literally have only tasted Sprite and ginger ale, for the record.

 You shouldn't move out right after college.

Giphy

Save. Your. Money. and spend some quality time with mom and dad. Your nice apartment, the travel vlogs and all the pillows you can buy will come soon enough.

 Decaf coffee is just as important as regular coffee.

For a 20-year-old girl who physically can't handle regular coffee or cold brew, decaf is an awesome substitute for the good stuff.

Hard-boiled eggs look super gross.

Giphy

I will NEVER try them. Period.

 Sony shouldn't give Disney/Marvel their 50/50 Spider-Man deal.

I can go on and on about the tug-of-war that my favorite fictional character is going through right now, but all I can say is that Sony shouldn't be the one to blame. You have pretty much the whole media market under your domain, Disney. Share some of the wealth for once (literally).

 Country music is not enjoyable.

Giphy

I believe all films, TV and music are subjective, but I do think my stance on the country genre is that it's not my cup of tea. I do, however, like some songs like "Girl Crush" by Little Big Town and "Speechless" by Dan+Shay.

 You CAN have breakfast for dinner.

There is nothing wrong with having some of the best foods in the world at a different time of day - it's still a meal, after all!

 Majors shouldn't be decided before going to college.

Giphy

Even certain high schools have students declare a major of choice before going to college. While focusing on a specific interest is very exciting and interesting, I think a major should be declared after a bit of exploring. After all, it can save time and some money in the long run.

 You don't have to add salt to every meal you eat.

I didn't really grow up with a salt and pepper shaker being added to the dinner table every night; rather, it was in the cabinet. This may sound crazy, and I love salt as much as the next person, but you shouldn't add extra to a dish - it's just more calories and it makes it less wholesome.

 Paper straws are useless.

Giphy

I'm all for making the world a cleaner and safer place, but paper straws do nothing for us. They're pretty annoying, actually - am I wrong?

 Little kids shouldn't have phones or iPads.

Maybe it's a generational thing, but children should not be exposed to blue light and the world of social media early on. Honestly, this one should be a law.

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

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

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.
