What it's really like Coming Home During the sUMMER

Freshman year of college is over, it had its up and it had its down. If you are anything like me, you are tired of being broke all the time so you hop on getting as many jobs and hours possible for a human being bad in your small home town that you desperately avoided all year.

You get home and one thing that hits you harder than a boulder is checkin-check out back in place at home, you can't just leave at 11;30 at night or stay out till 6 am, your senior year of high school curfews and rules some have found a way back. I got extremely irritated because back home is a good 30 min from any kind of decent shopping and that is a big difference wen you can't just run places.

You miss your college friends specially the ones that live out of state, the ones that really got you are now hours and hours away. When you avoided being home all year its hard to start over again for 3 months, and make friends again. With comping back to your old high school town brings a good amount of high school drama, because you forgot that people actually care about nonsense, it gets on your nerves. Because when something is said in a small town everyone and their mom knows about it.

Dating is the most horrible thing when you in college but home for the summer, because you know this "fling" will end when your back to your 2-3 hour away school, and your "fling" back at school might be over when you get back, a lot changes in a couple months. Its just a turn off if you know that your leaving in a couple months.

You told yourself, "Ya I can work 60 hours a week" don't do that to your self, you need me time or you will cry when it gets to much, trust me slowly learning. Employers will not want to change it as fast as you would think, you need to take time and breathe and actually enjoy some of your summer, because if your from Nebraska, winter lasts forever.

You enjoy your family, but silently praying for classes to start again.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

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.

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!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
