Weekday Morning Conversations with Yourself

Good morning, Chicago. I can't wait to freeze today.

Weekday Morning Conversations with Yourself
Google

It is the inevitable Monday morning. Scratch that. It is the inevitable weekday morning. I-90 is whispering to you good morning, with it's sweet sound of honking horns and sirens. You know it's less than 30 degrees outside, because well, you live in Chicago and that is that way it goes from November-April. Late March if you're lucky. Soon enough, you have realized your bed is the only thing worth value. Your bed is your best friend, the keeper of warmth and the inhabiter of procrastination.

If this is the case, your morning conversations might go a little something like this-

"5 more minutes, I will close my eyes just five more minutes. I promise." Wakes up 15 minutes later.

"How many days of class have I already missed? I better check all 5 syllabus to see how many classes I can skip before it affects my grade.

"Do I feel a little sick today? Headache, stomach ache? I do feel a little nauseous."

"Is it cold enough for class to be cancelled?" Checks the school's website.

30 minutes till class. "Well I guess it's now or never."

Gets up. "I already want to lay back down."

Puts on leggings, boots, two sweatshirts, scarf and coat (that I wear everyday). "Yup, I look great. I don't need gloves, gloves are a hassle."

"I should eat breakfast. No, it's ok. Coffee will do."

"I will brush my teeth though."

Looks down at phone battery- 35%. "This is going to be a great day."

Walks outside. "You've got to be kidding me."

"I want to pull out my phone and change the song but it's too cold. I should have worn gloves."

"There is no one even on the sidewalks. I bet everyone else stayed home. Oh, never mind. There is a guy up ahead. Is that really all he is wearing? Where is his winter parka? He must be freezing."

"Why do I live in Chicago? I should move."

"I think I will get soup for lunch. Soup sounds good."

Checks nearest Panera location. "Nix soup. Too cold to try to get to Panera. Ramen it is."

"Why did I skip breakfast? I am starving. I am going to go hungry."

"How many hours till I get to lay back in bed? The things I would do to lay in my bed and watch Netflix right now."

"Should I turn around? Will I really miss that much? I could text that one classmate and ask them to send me notes."

Swipes CTA pass. "Well this is it. Guess I am really going to do this. School, here I come."

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.
