A Little Bit About my Gossip Girl obsession..

Totally not doing what I said I was going to.. Who likes to follow a strict plan anyway? I thought of a fun topic that probably should have replaced my first blog post. I was thinking about things that I enjoy that some people may not even know about. This idea stemmed from my boyfriend never hearing of certain TV shows/movies that have been my all-time favorites. Kind of insulting when they have no clue am I right? Haven't quite decided if using "lol" is quite appropriate in the context of a blog.. but anyway

This can be on a range of so many topics when you think about it- we all have those secret loves of ours- recipes, makeup, beauty products, our favorite TV shows, movies, places to eat, places to see. I would love to dive deeper into this at some point- currently it is winter where I live and I have basically no desire to travel and explore- maybe this will motivate me to do so.

Here are a few of my favorite things 😊 -Alexa play 7 Rings by Ariana Grande (No I do not actually have the speaker unfortunately)

Let’s start with something I’ve been obsessed with watching all over again.. River Monsters. An episode I recently watched that I highly suggest- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp3fzG55C34 There’s always those shows that you seem to come back to eventually. During my night shifts at work at times I have time to waste. What better to do than learn about river monsters lol. They release the fish back in the water so for any vegans/vegetarians reading- do not fret. If you are ever bored and interested in watching something educational do yourself a favor and learn about fish you may never encounter in your life- however sad for the natives who live near these waters that had or have to endure attacks. It’s so refreshing to see a different way of life compared to your own. Imagine still having to hunt and fish to survive. Life is so easy for the majority of people that have access to supermarkets and grocery stores. It’s a wonderful thing to put your life into perspective. Count your blessings!

Let’s run with another TV show; Gossip Girl

I jumped really late on the bandwagon for GG, starting the series not long ago last year; oh what I was missing back when I was only fixated on Pretty Little Liars.. (better late than never) but Gossip Girl consumed me when I first started watching. You all know the feeling well when you find the perfect show suited just for you. Then, no matter how much you try to distract yourself, that series is all you think about until you finish it. Some may finish a series in a day- I wish I had free time like that again. Remember our childhood and adolescence-during the easy period free trial of life. 

In my day to day life I try not to gossip, I try to avoid people who gossip. In high school I never got along with the popular crowd- I could totally relate to how Dan felt… agree with all of his decisions? Absolutely not lol. How in the devil did he somehow STILL get the girl in the end after being a stalker/jackass? I feel like this show changed how I present myself in some weird way. 

Here’s what I mean- you look at Blair Waldorf. She’s confident, if she has something to say- she says it. She is unapologetically herself. You’ve all heard the saying- fake it until you make it. Well I started trying that while in a way mimicking her good qualities- while I do realize she had many toxic ones also. It made me realize that I need to be more assertive. I encourage you to not let people talk to you in a rude way- stand up for yourself but remain calm most importantly. Who would've ever thought actual life lessons could emerge from this show? 

I have many more favorites but let’s save it for the next one ahhh I love cliffhangers 😊
In the meantime, if you are reading this far dear lovely person, let me know down below what are your favorite TV shows to watch and your favorite quotes from them? Mine from Gossip Girl would be “I have an idea for you: quit. Your boss is a bitch. Let’s go to lunch.” 

Side note- how gorgeous was Leighton Meester during the whole marriage portion of the series?




Here's to part 2 coming real soon..


Dream on, my friends
