Why 2017 Probably Won't Be Your Year

The cold hard truth

Why 2017 Probably Won't Be Your Year
Pure Michigan

Ok we all vow to be “better people” or to “get in shape” in the New Year, but let’s quit lying to ourselves.

Realistically, I’m still going to be an annoying b*tch. I still will be loud and assertive.

I also will not go to the gym. I know for a fact that this is true because I have promised myself for the past 4 years that I would and guess how many times I went. Zero.

I know that I will not become magically smarter in chemistry either. Let’s be honest here.

I’m still going to have the same friends that I do now. My friends are the best. I also suck at dropping people so we can just be honest and admit that I’m not that mean.

Sometimes I tell myself that I will wear pretty makeup and look nice for school everyday in the New Year. Lies. I will wear leggings till the day I die. Mark my words.

I probably will not read a long book this year.

I will also be single this year. I can feel it.

The sooner we admit to these things, the better the New Year will be.

Happy 2017

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!

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.
