'Gossip Girl': Your Next Netflix Binge Worthy Show

If you can't find a new series to watch because you're still balling your eyes out after One Tree Hill, then Gossip Girl is definitely for you! Life in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, NY is completely different from the life in Central Arkansas.


The show is narrated by the unknown, infamous blogger, Gossip Girl. She begins and ends every episode with the latest gossip. Her target is Manhattan's Elite: Serena van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, Nate Archibald, and Chuck Bass. Some include Dan Humphrey in Manhattan's Elite and some do not.

"Xoxo, Gossip Girl"

Serena and Blair are what you call "best frenemies" because they consider themselves best friends, but when it comes down to it they will do whatever it takes to destroy each other. Nate and Chuck are the only two who have a genuine friendship throughout the entire series. Serena struggles with daddy issues by using her body to attract the wrong men. Blair struggles with confidence by forcing everyone to bow down to her as Queen B. Nate struggles with actual family issues, and tries his best to resolve them in a genuine manner. Chuck has an unhealthy lust for women because he struggles to get his one true love. Dan struggles with fitting into the Upper East Side society. He's willing to do whatever it takes to fit in.

Gossip Girl swoops in to report the hourly mistakes and imperfections of Manhattan's Elite. The goal of the show is for not only the characters to find out who Gossip Girl is, but for us to find out first!


On a 5 star rating scale, I would give this show 4.5/5.Gossip Girl isn't for everyone, but it has an addictive plot that makes it hard to turn off. If this show is for you, you will find yourself at 3:00 am with crusty eyes whispering, "Just one more episode and I'll turn it off." 6 Seasons full of laughter and drama. You'll laugh, cry, scream, and possibly throw your laptop, but it's worth it!

If you liked One Tree Hill, Vampire Diaries, 90210, and Pretty Little Liars then you'll love Gossip Girl!!!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
