College Life

16 Times Gossip Girl Perfectly Summed Up College

If you’re anything like me, the iconic phrase, “Good morning Upper East-Siders,” brings you back to a world in 2008 where you never missed an episode of Gossip Girl and Blair Waldorf was your idol. As we can all agree, Gossip Girl had its moments where it was downright un-relatable. I mean, having your billionaire boyfriend sell you for a hotel? Unlikely. However, what we can all agree on are the lessons this show taught us. When it comes to college, the non-judging breakfast club portrayed it on our televisions best. Here are 16 times Gossip Girl perfectly summed up what it’s like to be a college student.

1. When you go into an exam feeling confident, get your grade back, and see you failed.

2. When finals week hits and you turn into a zombie who lives at the library.

3. When you’ve had a long week and staying in watching Netflix all night sounds better than going out.
