Spending time alone gives you peace with yourself and the world around you. Even with some great friends by my side, alone time can be rewarding. Here are some ways you know if you're your own best friend.

1. You plan your day out with yourself

Sometimes my day includes running errands, watching Netflix, and taking a long bath all by myself.

2. You don’t get mad if you spend a night in when everyone is going out

Whether this means doing face masks, spending time outside, or just napping, respecting yourself and your limits is one of the perks of spending time alone.

4. You plan spending time with friends around spending time with yourself

6. You’ve learned to really know/love yourself

1. Why is Wilson Hall so complicated to navigate? Even as a senior, I still get lost in Wilson.

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a Miranda from Sex and the City, is running for governor of New York. I think that this would be the best decision that has been made in a while solely based off of the fact that almost no one knows New York like the cast of Sex and the City.

When a student at Auburn was recently asked, she explained: "These schools usually have, like, a super vibrant social scene, lots of Greek life (like my amazing sorority, duh!), and tons of exciting events happening all the time. I mean, we're talking about tailgates, themed parties, mixers with fraternities, and just, like, so much fun. But don't get me wrong, we still, like, study and go to class and all that.
