5 Ways Blair Waldorf Meets Her Match In Princess Eleanor
Hello Giggles















Viewers are raving over the the new E! drama, "The Royals," due to its scandalous affairs and lavish lifestyles. Lifestyles of the rich and famous come to light in this series and fans are loving it! A lot of those that tune in on Sunday nights are previous "Gossip Girl" fans which got me thinking about a "Queen B," Blair Waldorf and Princess Eleanor stand-off.

If it were to come down to it, who has the better lifestyle? Blair might win over the steps of The Met with her words but Eleanor could win over the nation with her impulsive plots.

With "Gossip Girl" concluded, fans are latching onto "The Royals," where the scheming takes place behind palace walls. As a dedicated viewer of the GG series, I have had a hard time trying to find a tight knit group that can fill my "Gossip Girl" void, but this British pack just might flip the switch.

I am more so interested to see how followers of the original "Gossip Girl" series take to the new show’s Princess Eleanor. It has to be KILLING Blair that Eleanor has everything she ever wanted, and chooses to throw it all away for drugs, sex and magic. Eleanor is looked upon as a leader in the Great Britain country and all she has to show for it are rebellious tabloids and a high sense of fashion.

The Clothes:

Blair has a very proper and elegant style. Class isn’t something B just attends; she is practically the definition of it, with her headbands and collars. Princess Eleanor, on the other hand, is a trendsetting rock star with her metallic dresses and dramatic eye makeup. Len, even vogue wouldn’t know what to produce for you. Keep it rocking girl.

The Boys:

Blair has Chuck and Princess Eleanor has… Well, everyone, but Jasper is her main focus. Channeling his inner dominant side, Princess Eleanor can’t help but be attracted to him! That is until her mom gets involved with Jasper as well. Talk about a royal family affair (YIKES!). I can’t even imagine Mrs. Waldorf getting involved with Chuck Bass. There is no love deeper than the love between Mr. Bass and Blair Waldorf. Mrs. Future Chuck Bass wins this one.

The Followers:

Honestly, it’s a tough call with this one. Blair’s minions aren’t exactly competent, but can scheme when instructed. Penelope and Maribel are just plain stupid, but their stupidity can lead the crowd to a good laugh. Princess and B both lose this one.

The Help:

Who can get mad at Dorota? She schemes, she cleans, and she is a Blair Waldorf fighting machine. It’s hard to find that kind of passion with the help these days. In the palace, the help’s turnover rate can be pretty high. If they’re not caught in a scandalous act making them question their morals, then they’re probably dead or dying as there is no mercy in Helena’s castle. If it were up to me, I’d take a driven Dorota over hired help any day.

Tabloid Coverage:

There is lethal difference between being on the cover page of a local website than a national newspaper. GG may put B in her place online, but the press is all over Eleanor’s royal mishaps. I don’t want to be the one to say "Gossip Girl" is through but we have snapchat now. “Spotting” someone isn’t as exciting as it used to be. Len, you're national news and Blair you're yesterdays… Eleanor wraps this one up as well.

Blair may have a strong influencing personality but Princess Eleanor throws etiquette out the window and makes her presence known. B would surely fall to the back with Lenny’s tiara taking rein of the spotlight. You can be your own judge Sunday nights as season three is premiering right now! Old episodes can be viewed on various streaming websites and E! Now.

XOXO

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
