I love to watch you squirm
Chuck: Looking to paint the town red?
Blair: I don't know what you've heard, but it isn't your concern. Unless... It is. You've been behind this the whole time, haven't you? You got Jenny the interview with Tim Gunn, and you made sure that your friend-with-no-benefits stopped by the empire just to defy me.
C: I told you I wouldn't rest until you were destroyed. Inviting your old sparring partner back was just my way of avoiding doing all the dirty work myself. Jenny always had a talent for making your life a living hell.
B: You've gone too far. Bringing Jenny back puts both of our reputations at risk.
C: I love to watch you squirm. The pleasure I get from witnessing your shame is considerable.

Human After All.
jeremyfall:
We tend to see ourselves as completely invincible and believe we can overcome any challenge that comes our way. Although independence is an extremely important quality to have, it’s equally important to step back once in a while and fully evaluate the weight of a situation and the impact it can have on your sanity. The truth is we hate having to go to others for help because it...

Why I don’t care about success →
“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” —Albert Einstein
A lot of people in my field write about how to be successful, but I try to avoid it. It’s just not something I believe is important.
Now, that might seem weird: what kind of loser doesn’t want to be successful?
Me. I’m that loser.
Obviously, the first problem with success is how you...

Fear of Happiness.
jeremyfall:
I’ve always been fascinated by how we deal with fear in life. Every single person in this world is afraid of something, and we’re constantly fighting a battle to overcome it. Whether it be about losing your close ones, a fear of the future, fighting feelings for someone you love or not knowing how to deal with life, the battle in itself is always the same. We tend to make things...

Not, uh, "Out of Service."
Eric: Still nothing.
Serena: Good. I forgot how exciting the first day of school can be... A new fall wardrobe, fresh slate. The fact that Gossip Girl isn't around to stir up trouble only makes it that much more perfect.
E: Or she could be planning something big for your first day. After all, the site says "under construction," not, uh, "out of service."
Respect and understand the power of Gossip Girl
Blair: I don't understand. How can "Gossip Girl" be down my first day at Columbia?
Dorota: Maybe Gossip Girl get kidnapped? Unstable ex-boyfriend lock Internet tattletale in basement...
B: Dorota! What did I tell you? No more watching "Law & Order: SVU" while you're breast-feeding. No, unlike those plebeians at N.Y.U., the students at Columbia actually respect and understand the power of Gossip Girl. But how is my first day supposed to matter if Gossip Girl isn't around to tell people it does?
