9. You often read articles with titles such as “24 Reasons You're A Sasshole,” thinking they are going to be so relatable….

11. …but at the end of the day, you are thankful for how nice you are

Making new friends is not an easy task.

You have no problem tellin' it like it is.

Frenemies

You judge what other girls are wearing - hard.

Only your best friends see your emotions.

You've mastered the fake personality.

You have your very own Chuck Bass.
