Your first year of college comes with a lot of emotions and new experiences. From the mysterious food in the dining halls to bonding with friends, the freshman year is one of the toughest years of college. The American classic that is "Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby" can perfectly describe the ups and downs of maneuvering that first year.

1. When you and your roommate can finally get weird with each other


You're going to be spending some SERIOUS time together over the next 10 months. Time to get comfortable.

2. Realizing time is key when it comes to getting a good seat in class


If you don't believe me, try showing up to your 100 person geology lecture with three minutes to spare.

3. Bragging to your classmates when you pass the test everyone else failed


You're not sure how you did that either, but you're rolling with it.

4. That first drunken make out that none of your friends will ever let you live down


It was embarrassing and a little hazy. Never fear, your pals definitely snapped the whole thing.

5. The moment when you've had one too many cups of coffee during your all-nighter

Your body is tingling and you're sleep deprived, but damn it if you didn't finish that paper.

6. That one freshman who thinks he's The Hulk after two drinks

This should be fun to watch, stick around and enjoy the show.

7. And finally, doing whatever it takes to meet the word count on your final

You've had 25 words left for three hours. JUST END IT ALREADY.

"Talladega Nights" is one the most iconic movies of our time, and completely applicable in any situation.

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

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.
