College Life as Told by Blair Waldorf

College Life as Told by Blair Waldorf

Has anyone every realized that Gossip Girl perfectly describes Greek life and college? Blair Waldorf is, basically, the ultimate Greek woman. She is independent, strong, loving and very proud of who she is. The only difference is that she often says the things we wish we had the nerve to say. In case you haven't watched the series through four complete times, here are some of my favorite Blair moments.

Remember that day when people were telling you that they saw that eye roll you made during chapter? Or, that you were really rude when you didn't reply to whomever's text within 20 minutes, yesterday?

You come home from a Saturday afternoon of shopping downtown with your sisters and you only feel one emotion.

You try to explain why you are majoring in textiles and apparel management, or something along those lines, and you wish you would have come up with this masterpiece of a line.

You have studied and practiced really hard for something and you succeed -- and people tell you not to be cocky about it but all you are feeling is...

There is that moment when you realize that a formal date just is not going to happen this year.

Because you would rather go stag then take someone who doesn't appreciate you.

Why is it so hard to find a decent guy? I mean we aren't asking for the world.

Our expectations in life are high. And not just with boys.

Yet, at the end of the day, Blair knew the real meaning of friendship and sisterhood. She might have been feisty, but she was a true friend. She was the friend we all want and want to be.

Thanks, girl, for showing us that we aren't the only ones with these crazy thoughts. Oh, yeah, and thanks for being one of the best fictional characters there ever was. We all wish you could have been in our chapter.

XOXO

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.

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.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
