Six Lessons We Get From "Gossip Girl"
NY Daily News
"Hey Upper East Siders. Gossip Girl here and I have the biggest news ever."If you even watched one episode of "Gossip Girl" you know that the Upper East Side is full of drama and scandalous situations. Between the scandals, there are times shared on screen between the characters that everyday teenagers could relate to. These are a few of my personal favorite lessons learned from the television drama, "Gossip Girl."

1. Friendship advice

The dynamic duo of B and S are the ultimate definition of friendship goals. Blair and Serena share countless amounts of heart to heart friendship moments throughout the six seasons of Gossip Girl.

2. Relationship advice

Chuck and Blair. Blair and Chuck. This power couple on "Gossip Girl" have had their fair share of relationship disputes and adorable moments, but fans live for the cute dialogue between Chuck and Blair. "Three words, eight letters, say it and I'm yours.."

3. From the villain

Although Georgina Sparks is the main antagonist throughout the show, she has a few inspirational lines. Her fearless, careless, and reckless attitude proves to other characters that she is unstoppable in whatever she puts her mind to.

4. Flaws are who you are

Even Serena Van der Woodsen has her flaws. She encounters numerous flaws throughout six seasons and at the end of the day, she accepts that they make her who she is. If Serena could accept her flaws, so can you.

5. Reality

Gossip Girl understands that at the end of the day on the Upper East Side one must face reality. Gossip Girl gives multiple life lessons to viewers at the end of every episode on how to face reality.

6. Stay positive

Blair, the Queen B on Gossip Girl, is the character who provides you with a pep talk to help you push through your bad days. Having an awful day? Just sit back, relax and watch some GG. XOXO

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
