We all have a little bit of Blair Waldorf inside of us. You may not realize it, but you're probably guilty of at least nine out of ten of these listed points. So why don't we reminisce on the famous Blair Waldorf moments where we realized we were actually her at certain times through the series?
You cut people off - fast!
She went behind your back? Don't sweat it girl because it only takes you .6 seconds to cut her out of your life for good to make sure it never happens again. Blair's done it. We all remember Georgina Sparks don't we?
Queen of Creeping.
Your snooping skills are so on point, just like Blair's that this will happen regularly. "Do you need my address?" Nope I know where you live, where you went to high school, your dog's name, and your bedroom wall color. "Yes an address would help!"
When you need to let others know exactly who you are.
Sorry, unfortunately you'll never really be Blair Waldorf no matter how cute the bag is or how many times you try and convince the sales woman you found it for half off. Blair would never buy it for half off anyway, and the sales woman still has no clue who you are.
Making new friends is not an easy task.
You have your minions, Serena, and a couple close Nate's or Chuck's but that's pretty much it. If the new girl in town hasn't figured it out yet, she'll soon realize you are the one who calls the shots.
You have no problem tellin' it like it is.
You've made it loud and clear to others about how things really are. You don't hide things, you just tell 'em like it is. If you don't like her, you don't associate with her - girl bye!
Frenemies
Some of us call them "fake friends". You've had your encounters with friends like that, but unfortunately they don't know who they're really dealing with and that you can make them miserable, just like Blair would do. *insert upside-down smiley face here*
You judge what other girls are wearing - hard.
Honey, those are yoga pants, not "I want everyone to see my thong" pants! Learn the difference before walking out the door, please and thank you!
Only your best friends see your emotions.
No matter how upset you are, or how excited you are about something, you only truly show it to your very own Serena (and maybe your mom). Your best friend is always there to wipe the tears or laugh with you until she's wiping away those laughing tears as well.
You've mastered the fake personality.
What problem? There's no problem. I definitely don't have an attitude. I'm fine. No, we're not fine and we all have that fake face or personality to hide what's really going on inside of our sneaky little minds. Sadly, we're not fooling anyone, but at least you and Blair have that in common.
You have your very own Chuck Bass.
Girls, we all know this one is true! He may not be your boyfriend, but you all have your personal Chuck Bass. He's the guy who would drop the world for you, and drive you absolutely insane all at the same time.
So, non-Upper East Siders, were you shocked to see just how many times you were actually Blair Waldorf? You may not have a headband to match all of your outfits, but you can pretty much tell how many times you've achieved being Blair.
You know you love her! Xoxo

Student Life
9 Pieces Of Real, Solid Advice For College Freshman
Not your average, go to class lecture
08 January

University of Mount Olive
College is the most exciting time of a person's life. It really is. Exciting is not always a positive feeling though. Excited is a feeling that can be associated with nervousness, anxiety and more. Here are some real tips for college freshman that go beyond the typical, "Go to class," lecture.
Find something you love or are interested in and get involved.
When people say, get involved on campus, they are just trying to make you preppy (like I thought years ago), they really want you to be find something you love and be able to grow your passion. If you like writing try applying to be a writer for your school paper, or even better The Odyssey! These activities provide opportunities that classrooms cannot always provide, connections and applications. So whatever your passion (or even your major is), get involved because it's things like that will make future employers notice you.
Be nice to EVERYBODY.
This should be common sense, but seriously be nice to everybody during your freshman year of college. If a girl is mean to another girl on your floor during freshman year, believe me, the whole floor will know about it within a day, probably sooner if they live in a community bath style dorm. If you start off your college experience being known as "the mean person," it will probably be harder to make friends and have the best college experience possible. Plus you never know who could be your next best friend in college and so that is another reason why you should be nice to everybody.
You might need to be a little outgoing than you were before.
In college, it's really hard to make friends if you just sit in your dorm watch Netflix or play video games all the time. People do this their freshman year and then they complain about how terrible college was and transfer to go home. However, putting in an effort to get to know people and make friends is the perfect way to end up like those people. So if you're shy you might just have to be a little more outgoing in order to get a good start in your college experience.
Give it your best effort to get along with your roommate.
I mean you are living with them. Give it 110% before moving out. Yes, some people make for terrible roommates but do try to get along with them. Who knows? If you and your roommate have problems and work them out you could end up finding a great new friend.
Keep a USB of all the important school work you do.
You forgot your flash drive You forgot your flash drive You forgot your flash drive
byu/E7-Durden inbigbangtheory
Keeping a USB of all the important school work you do is something I wish I had learned a long time ago. It is so important to have these works so that you can use them for a portfolio, post them on your LinkedIn or whatever the case may be, save your work. Plus Blackboard will go back and take of classes you took after a certain period of time. So saving your work on a USB is a lifesavier.
Choose the night class over the 8:00 am, every single time.
I know in high school a lot of schools start at 8:00 am so in college you think 8:00ams will not be that bad. That is a lie and stop telling yourself that now! In college, you are usually staying up a lot later than you did in high school and getting a lot less sleep. So 8:00ams in college is not a good idea. If you have to take an 8:00 am see if there is any way you can have this class twice a week, so you can sleep in the most you can
The Master Schedule Is Your Best Friend
The Master Schedule WILL save your life when registering for classes. Trust me. I live for the day the Master Schedule comes out.
Have patience.
In college, things take time. Don't be upset if you haven't found your best friends in just the first two weeks of college. If you don't make it into the organization you want in the semester (or even year) of college, more opportunities will open up for you! You just have to go out and look for them.
Don't wish your freshman year away.
I know firsthand it is very hard sometimes to not wish your freshman year away. I remembered I was so ready to live off-campus, only to miss living on-campus by the time sophomore year started.It's easy to wish that you were not having to sit in your Gen Ed classes, but trust me major classes can be very hard and plus freshman level classes are freshman level classes for a reason.

The 5 Pros and Cons Of Long Distance Friendships
Being friends with someone thousands of miles away has its drawbacks and perks.
08 January

True friendship is incredibly rare, and to find a friend that will be there for you through all of life's curveballs is something quite unique. To add distance into the equation, maintaining a real, true friendship can be a struggle. There are good and bad parts that come with long distance friendship.
1. Pro: You have someone to tell all your secrets (and other people’s) to.
When your friend lives far away, you can tell them just about anything about anyone and they will just listen. You don't have to worry about them telling other people or repeating it because you guys are so far apart.
1. Con: You sometimes go a few weeks without talking.
Because life does get crazy at times, it can be difficult to stay in contact. Even though it is unintentional, you always feel bad when you see you never responded. Once you remember everything you have to tell them though, you immediately send them a long message.
2. Pro: You have a newfound appreciation for technology.
Without technology and apps like WhatsApp staying in contact with your friend would be next to impossible.
2. Con: The time difference makes phone calls or Skyping difficult.
When you have time to talk, chances are they are either busy or sleeping because of the time difference.
3. Pro: You get to go on vacation to meet up.
Whether they come to you, you go to them, or you both decide to meet up in some random place you get to have a vacation with your friend. There is nothing better than creating memories while traveling with one of your best friends.
3. Con: It’s expensive to see each other.
Yes, when you do see each other you are creating so many memories but traveling internationally to see each other is expensive and can't be done as frequently as wanted.
4. Pro: They help keep things in perspective.
It is so easy to get caught up on the small things in life, but when you message your friend who is away from all your chaos and they have their own, it helps you see that not everything is as big of a deal as it seems.
4. Con: It is easy to get jealous of the friends they have that live near them.
You always see the pictures of them out with their other friends, and you have serious FOMO by not being there.
5. Pro: You share a special bond with that person that not every friendship has.
Because you have to make an effort to keep in contact this friendship has an added layer of authenticity to it. You both take time out of your lives to message one another when a friend you have who lives five minutes away might not do.
5. Con: You miss out on being there for big and small life events.
For example, chances are you rarely if ever get to spend birthdays together or attend each other's graduation.
Overall, the good always outweighs the bad which makes for a lasting, special friendship.
