When comparing Gossip Girl to One Tree Hill, it's clear which show was and still is better.

1. One Word: G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S

Gossip Girl

As much as we all swooned over Chad Michael Murray in OTH, we all know that the glitz and glam of Gossip Girls were deeply enchanting. The gowns, the couture, the DIAMONDS. You're lying if you think that OTH had even a fraction of the glam factor that GG did. Brooke might have dominated L.A., but we all know the true pinnacle of glamour is in NYC, baby.

2. The BFF trope

  

Gossip Girl

I love a good pair of gal pals, but in terms of true "BFFs," Blair and Serena beat out Peyton and Brooke every. Single. Time. When each blonde wild child went searching for an abandoned parent, Brooke was too busy to be there emotionally for Peyton, but Blair supported Serena each step of the way. When Peyton was in love with Brooke's boyfriend... she went after him, but when Blair's boyfriend had feelings for Serena, Serena did her best to shun him (okay, maybe she slept with him first... but that's beside the point). When it comes to being the best BFFs, S + B will always have each other's backs (unlike friends who mysteriously disappear after season six with no explanation at all whatsoever... *cough* Peyton).

3. Masquerade Balls > Basketball

  

Gossip Girl

Dont get me wrong, I love the whole All- American-hometown-basketball team-cute boy thing that OTH has going for it, BUT I'd take men going to a ball over boys bouncing one any day. These pictures just prove my point.

4. The Better Villain

Dan Scott was absolutely terrifying and he was clearly a sociopath; but he lacked depth, meaning had no true reason to be so hateful. He was simply a cruel character with a weak backstory. But Georgina Sparks? She was ruthlessand so blatantly desperate, it was almost comedic! She was mentally ill, sure, and she stole some identities, perhaps lied to multiple men about the father of her baby, but at the end of the day: she just wanted to be a part of their world again. In my opinion, the best type of villain is one you kind of feel sorry for, one that entertains and frightens at the same time. Georgina was a well-rounded villain, as opposed to Dan Scott who murdered his brother, despised his firstborn son, and mostly just made everyone's lives miserable, all for little to no reason why.

5. Iconic Couples

GirlGossip

Do I even have to elaborate on why Chuck and Blair take the cake for the most iconic couple? I mean, falling in love with your tutor and getting married in high school is cute and all, but Chuck and Blair's rich, risky, and ravenous romance will forever be legendary. Chuck paid her royal dowry, married her in central park, and let's not forget when he voted for her 150 times for Prom Queen. Ugh, don't you just adore them?

6. Nanny versus Nanny

We all remember crazy Nanny Carrie, who not only abducted both Jamie and Dan Scott but then proceeded to drug Dan as well. Yeah, I think we're all in agreement to the fact that Dorota was the best nanny to ever exist.

7. FashFUN

Gossip Girl

We could talk circles around two really great shows, but the costuming for GG will win out every time. From ball gowns and cocktail dresses to shopping on 5th avenue and summering in Europe - they do it all with awe-inspiring style.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
