10 Reasons Why 'Gossip Girl' Is Still The Best Show Ever
Gossip Girl Wikia

"Gossip Girl," a teenage sitcom that ran from 2007 to 2012, was highly acclaimed and well loved by many people while it was running. In fact, it has even got a large following today, with makeup tutorials to mimic characters, Twitter accounts with quotes, and pining after the characters and their actors. Even after all these years, "Gossip Girl" still holds up as a great television show, and it's easy to prove it.

1. Getting To See New York

"Gossip Girl" was filmed on location in New York City, so you got to see a ton of the city itself, which was awesome for the non-natives.

2. The Subjective Liking/Disliking Of Characters

Everyone had different opinions on the characters, so it was a perfect discussion topic with all your "Gossip Girl" friends to see who everyone liked. Personally, I'm a huge fan of Jenny Humphrey, though she's rather disliked by everyone else.

3. The Boys

Nate, Chuck, Dan, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, and Penn Badgley are irresistible. C'mon.

4. The Quotes

"Gossip Girl" has had some of the most inspiring and amusing quotes, whether sad, funny, inspirational, or just sassy.

5. The Soundtrack

No one can deny that the soundtrack for "Gossip Girl" was amazing. They played great music, even including selections from Taylor Momsen's Band and Leighton Meester. And really, that one "Lincoln Hawk" song Rufus plays was really good.

6. The Different Couplings We Loved

There was no shortage of relationships and love triangles in "Gossip Girl," and there are definitely plenty of relationships not even on this love triangle. And you could like who you liked, regardless of if they ended up together or not. (Serena should've totally ended up with Nate though.)

7. The Fashion

The fashion and looks from "Gossip Girl" certainly still stand up today, with some of the most iconic and loved looks.

8. The Drama

There was also no shortage of drama in "Gossip Girl." Each season had new struggles. Chuck's mom? Ivy Dickens/Charlie Rhodes? Juliet and Ben? Chuck and Blair? Louis? There was always something going on.

9. Cameos By Famous Actors And Other Famous People

Rachel Zoe, Sebastian Stan, Lady Gaga, Vera Wang, Tory Burch, Kristen Bell, Aaron Tveit, Hilary Duff, Tyra Banks, William Baldwin, Cyndi Lauper, Ivanka Trump, and many other well known fashion icons and actors have had appearances and even long running parts in "Gossip Girl."

10. Dorota

Dorota was the best part of the show. Don't even try to deny it.


You know you love me.

XOXO,

Gossip Girl

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
