"Gossip Girl" is an iconic teen/ young adult show that was on the CW from 2007-2012 and for those glorious years -- or constantly binge-watching on Netflix -- we got to watch Blair, Serena, Nate, Chuck, Dan and others rule the Upper East Side. Although Serena van der Woodsen -- uh, hello, Blake Lively is basically life goals --
holds a special place in all of our hearts, my true spirit animal is Blair Waldorf. So, here's to the Queen B (get it, B, OK sorry not funny) of the Upper East Side expressing all our college struggles through simple looks and sassy comebacks.
1. When your friend is really upset because the guy she liked turned out to be a jerk.
2. When you're friend zoned and it's just like, what?
3. When you answer a question right in the class you're basically failing.
4. Going to a closed party and random people think you can get them in.
5. Struggling through the pressure of second semester because you set the bar to high -- or to low -- first semester.
6. ...and Netflix, pizza, my pet, free tuition and yeah that's good to start with.
7. When your boyfriend won't hang out with you because you're on your period and being a bitch.
8. 10 a.m. on a Saturday morning, 'nuff said.
9. Receiving that text or phone call from your parents asking how your grades are.
10. When the Wi-Fi cuts out again, for the fifth time, and you just stop trying.
11. Actually opening your notes and, gasp,
textbook to study because you know what? An A is totally achievable.
12. Eating junk food and your roommate declares she's going to the gym, works out for a hour, and you're still eating.
13. Life after midterms.
14. French toast sticks, chocolate milk and tater tots all fresh and fully stocked at the same time.
15. Seeing the dining hall options even though they are generally the same and still disgusting.
