Finals Week As Told By Gossip Girl

If you have ever spent more than five minutes with me, then you probably understand my passionate love for Gossip Girl. I have watched the entire series seven times through and it still has not gotten old. So, in honor of the worst week of the year (finals week) and the best show on TV (or Netflix), I have thoroughly described finals week through the eyes of everyone’s favorite girls, Blair and Serena (and others).

It is the last day of classes before reading days!

Wait... Who are you kidding? You're really just sitting in bed watching Netflix and freaking out all day.
