Weird Things Everyone Does In The Summer When They're Bored
The Come Back

It's summer, you're back in your hometown and there's nothing to do after midnight except for a select few things. Don’t lie, you know you’ve done at least one of these.

1. Go to Waffle House, Taco Bell, or White Castle.

You might not even be hungry, but you are very bored and a waffle, taco, or slider sounds really good and how convenient that you can get all 3 at this ridiculous hour.

2. Walk around Walmart.

You’ve been there a million times, but for some reason it’s a lot more fun past midnight.

3. Drive around with no destination.

You’re wasting gas, but who cares? There is nothing else to do and the sky looks really pretty tonight.

4. Walk around parks after dusk just because you can.

Just don’t get caught.

5. Go to a gas station and buy an uncanny amount of junk food.

Oreos, Doritos, oh and they have a milkshake machine? Perfect.

6. Watch your favorite show on Netflix till 6 a.m.

The sun is rising and I’m still watching Netflix, how sad.

7. Pick up a new hobby that only lasts close to a month.

Night fishing, knitting, reading, yoga, been there done that.

8. Work out.

There’s no time like the present, let’s get going on those crunches you were supposed to do earlier.

9. Call people that you haven’t seen in years and ask them to hang out because you are that bored.

The rest of your friends are busy and you haven’t talked to one of your old pals in years, might as well see what they are up to.

10. Tell your crush that you like them.

You only live once and after midnight in the summer is the perfect time to conquer this.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

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.
