It has been a decade since we last heard from our favorite Gossip Girl about the drama that’s happening in the upper east side of New York.
HBO came back with a new, post-quarantine Gossip Girl.
One thing about the original Gossip Girl is that it was far from realistic. With no real realistic concept of age, a lot of times you would forget that the characters are supposed to be kids in high school. Not to mention how messy these kids’ love lives are. Regardless this was the charm of Gossip Girl.
Why Schools Need More Drama Education
One of the most memorable learning experiences in my days as a grade schooler didn’t take place inside a classroom, but rather on the stage of my quaint elementary school’s small auditorium. A traveling acting duo–a man and woman, whose names I’ve sadly forgotten– stopped by our school to sweep us up in a two-day improv training experience, where the children of my grade got to romp about on stage and build upon a variety of kid-imagined scenarios in the name of theater. I found the whole thing amazing, and it connected me and my classmates in a way that I had never experienced before. Though I had no formal knowledge of the technical benefits of drama instruction, I knew even then that this was something everyone should experience.

Why Sitcoms Are The Best Type Of Shows
magine sitting down to watch something on TV, only to realize that you have nothing new to watch— what is the go-to show you choose? Whether you realize it or not, the type of shows that people most consistently return to are sitcoms. Personally, I lean towards shows that are humorous, comforting, and generally help me to escape into someone else’s world for a bit. Programs like “New Girl,” “Ted Lasso,” “Parks and Recreation,” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” all possess that crucial feature that drama shows do not, which is the characteristic I have coined, “rewatchability.”
