13 Life Lessons Gossip Girl Taught Us
College Candy

I've been religiously watching "Gossip Girl" for the past six years now. I did not watch it when it first aired, but ever since it was put on Netflix, I jumped on the train and have not gotten off. It's the perfect show for your girl’s night, or if you need a good show to binge watch, you can't help but be captivated by Serena Vanderwoodsen's long blonde hair or Blair Waldorf's confidence. Not only does this show make you wish you lived on the Upper East Side, but it is extremely relatable.

1. "The problem with fairy tales is that they set a girl up for disappointment. In real life, the prince goes off with the wrong princess."

No matter how much you love someone, you cannot control how they feel about you. Life is full of disappointments. Sometimes you find out that your prince is actually just another frog. It's okay, though, because someone someday is really going to be your prince, and he'll be all yours.

2. "Be careful who you open up to. Only a few people actually care, the rest are just curious."

Do not take everyone as a caring heart, some just want to know your weakness and watch you fall. Some people just want to get ahead in life, and do not care who they take down to get there.

3. "Whoever said that money doesn't buy happiness didn't know where to shop."

Obviously money is not everything, but have you ever seen someone crying while walking around the mall with shopping bags? No? Neither have I.

4. "Maybe it's not blood bonds that make us family. Perhaps it's the people who know our secrets and love us anyway. So we can finally be ourselves."

Family is everything to me and I have friends who have become family. When you find people that love you, hold onto them.

5. "I followed my heart all last year and it led me nowhere. Now I need to follow my head."

Sometimes your heart is wrong–it's okay to not follow your heart.

6. "I am not a stop along the way, I am the destination."

Know your self-worth. You are so much more than that booty call.

7. "Oh, my life is so bountiful. I don't need a boyfriend to feel fulfilled."

You do not need a boyfriend to happy, just your non-judgmental breakfast club.

8. "We all try on old clothes from time to time and sure, we may even be surprised when they still fit, but that does not mean we should wear them again. Ever!"

Once someone has done you wrong many times, do not go back to them. Unless it is Chuck Bass. Always go back to him.

9. "One thing about being on top of the world: It gives you a long, long way to fall."

Celebrate how good your life is going and your achievements, but do not take it for granted. Stay humble.

10. "Sometimes you need to step outside, get some air and remind yourself of who you are and where you want to be."

Set yourself up for success. Sometimes you get distracted but always keep your end goal in mind.

11. "I fall asleep thinking about guys named Louboutin and Laurent."

Guys will come and go, shoes and handbags are forever.

12. "I don't wait around to be disappointed again. So excuse me if I don't fall for that, or you ever again."

Do not let people set you up for disappointment. If you do not like way you are being treated, change something.

13. "I'll just stay at home, eat lots of gelato and write about how true love is nothing but a myth."

Pretty much pertains to every aspect of my life.

You know you love me.

xoxo

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
