Today is an important day. It is the day I finally finished Gossip Girl. It was months of long days and long nights and wanting to know how it would end. Then in the middle of the series, my friend kind of ruined it for me and told me who gossip girl was. I was like no, how?? It was impossible. Why would she do this to me, it upset me, but not for long. Obviously, I couldn't stop watching I had to find out if she was lying and how it would end. Surprisingly, I flew through the first two seasons in less than a week, then it took months to get through the next two seasons finally I just watched the last two seasons in roughly two days. Six seasons is a lot to watch, so as you can imagine I put a lot of time into this show. To most people Gossip Girl is just a show, which is quite normal. To those of you who don't know the show, it is a show about a fictional blog that goes into detail about the life of Manhattan's elite. You must be wondering how a show about the Upper East Side of New York could teach anything to a girl like me, a girl from Wisconsin, but it did. To me this show was definitely more than just a show, I mean, I am glad for that, since I put so much time into it. You are probably still confused as to what this show can teach me or do for me, or trying to guess in your head. It definitely became my favorite show. Now to get to the point of this post and not make it longer than it needs to be. Every time I watched this show it felt like it took over my life because it took over my days, it was so addicting and it made me feel like when I was watching I accomplished nothing else. I don't know if you guys know, but I had planned that after graduating college I would move to New York and go to graduate school there. We will see what happens with that. When I first started watching the show I thought I would just get an inside into New York and get to watch a good show, which I definitely did. It definitely does intrigue me and probably why after so many years of wanting to go, I am finally going to New York this year. As I mentioned the show is centered on a blog which is something that I really want to thrive at. Watching the show gave me pointers on what I want and don't want in a blog. I am still learning and have a lot to learn, but I have an idea about what kind of blogger I want to be. I want to be a journalist/blogger/writer all in one so I have a lot to work on. I know I have a lot of work to do and in that way I can to relate to one of the main characters in Gossip Girl, Dan. I don't want to ruin anything about the show because it is definitely worth watching and I think that whoever reads this should go watch the show as soon as you are done reading this. I think the show taught me something about every aspect of life; family, love, friendships, school, education, even finances and even helped me learn about things that I might want in life and so much more. The main thing that Gossip Girl taught me is, that it gave me inspiration to be successful! All the characters in the show go through so much that you have to watch to even begin to comprehend, but at the end of the day they all kept trying until they reached their goals. I have been very goal oriented and ambitious my entire life, but I never really went through extremely tough times until now and the show just helped give me the motivation to never give up no matter how hard things get. I am a girl from Wisconsin, who is not privileged and has never even been to New York, but I somehow relate to every character in this show in one or another and that is hard to do, specially considering how many people take part in this show. Even just watching the show gave me something to look forward to. If you want to possibly learn some new things or just watch a really great show I definitely recommend this show. Gossip Girl is educational, interesting, and very entertaining! I know this is just my opinion, and you might feel different or maybe even have the opposite opinion. If you have ever watched Gossip Girl I would love to hear your opinions on the show and if you haven't, I would love to hear why you would or would not watch it. As Gossip Girl would say...

I'll write again soon.
Have a magical day!
