10 Reasons Why I'm Addicted to Gossip Girl

1. The steamy romance of Chuck and Blair.

There could not be a more perfect example of this than the love of Chuck and Blair. Their love was everything you could only dream of. Tenacious, passionate, statuesque. It was clear to everyone watching that there was no better match for the two of them, and they managed to work through every detour that was thrown at them. Long live the unbreakable bond of Chlair.

2. Dorota Kishlovsky.

From her comic one-liners, to her entertaining facial expressions, she was hands down the most under-appreciated character on the show. I felt bad for every time Blair treated her so poorly, but I couldn't help but adore the relationship that they shared. Plus, she did make the best points.

3. It was way ahead of its time.

Cecily von Ziegesar is seriously brilliant. A visionary. The first book in the series was written in 2002, and the first episode aired in 2007. Way long before any social media cites existed. It really set the base for Twitter, Yik-Yak, Instagram, etc.

4. S & B's friendship.

No matter how many times they fought, they always found their way back to each other because nobody does BFFs like Serena and Blair.

5. Serena's wardrobe.

Every episode I was filled with envy every time S was on screen. Every outfit fit her to a T and made me want to go on a shopping spree and upgrade everything in my closet.

6. The big cities.

As a travel enthusiast, I absolutely loved every time they ran away in Daddy's private jet to go explore some new city full of strolls down luxurious avenues and fancy restaurants. If only it were that easy for the rest of us!


7. Chuck Bass.

At first, Chuck only showed his despicable, womanizer, heartless side. But, once he started to work through his daddy issues and open up, that icy facade melted away and we got to see the real Chuck who loved so much and cared so deep. There are plenty of other fish in the sea, but there's only one Bass.

8. It pushed boundaries.

This show really tested the limits with the high society parties, teenagers drinking & having sex, the scandalous outfits. All of the sex, scandals, and sneaky little one-liners made this show worth the month of sacrificing a full 8 hour sleep while I binged all six incredible seasons.

9. The silly moments.

I always looked forward to the clever little lines, faces and jokes that would be scattered throughout the episodes. The show was rightfully labeled as a drama, but it had its very fair share of comedic moments!

10. Last, but certainly never least, the drama!

I won't even deny it. I loved every single second of the outrageous scandals and traveling to the Upper East Side and getting caught up in the fictitious lives of the hyper-privileged teens. As Gossip Girl says best, "You know you love me."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
