There are million reasons... but I'll stick to six!

1. Everything is a bike ride away

Besides the beach, everything is a bike ride away, which is a good thing considering the parking situation.

2. The beaches

See on Instagram

Yeah, you may have to drive to the beach, but only 20 minutes!

3. The scene

See on Instagram

Charleston is literally the most beautiful place ever. After two years, I still long for my morning bike rides every day.

4. The campus

See on Instagram

Not only is it the most beautiful campus in the U.S., it is so small it feels so homey in the middle of the city.

5. The shopping

There's a vintage market, a Lilly Pulitzer, a GAP, really, there's somewhere for everyone.

6. The FOOD

See on Instagram

There are SO MANY places to eat, I don't think I'll be able to try them all before I graduate.

If you're a senior, I recommend at least scheduling a tour to come see CofC. Even if it isn't the school for you, at least you get to visit Charleston!

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.

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

"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.

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.

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.
