A Link Between Gossip Girl and Life

 Have you ever noticed that one girl who just walked in to your class on the first day of school and just sit right next to the cute guy you were eyeing and deciding to sit next to and just starts talking to him like no big deal? She looks like she has been at the beach all summer long and is wearing possibly the smallest size and lastest trend that you were saving babysitting money for. That is exactly what Serena van der Woodsen is in Gossip Girl. She is the girl who went away to a boarding school, came back this year, probably got kicked out of boarding school, and is just crushing your dreams like an everyday mean girl in an everyday highschool. Although in Gossip Girl, every character is rich and they go to a fancy highschool, it still is surreal. Gossip Girl also relates to the movie Mean Girls, because the mean girl, Regina George, is the girl who stole her friend's boyfriend, but the friend is still Regina's friend because Regina is popular, and so is Serena. But don't let those girls get you down, because I think farther in the book, Serena loses her popularity and Blair takes over.
