Last week Aileen recommended me to watch two TV series Gossip Girl and The Orange County. I just watched one episode of Gossip Girl. In the TV series, one gossip girl is concern of some upper-class students’ private lives all the time and regularly updates her social media. On the first episode, Serena returns to normal life, thus, it makes her good friend Blair feel nervous. She is worried that Serena will get too close to her boyfriend, so Blair always keeps a distance with Serena on purpose unlike before. In the TV series, only a pair of siblings: brother Dan and sister Jenny, have a different background from others. They are born in an ordinary family. Dan adores Serena, Jenny is eager to have an upper-class life and she wants to join Blair’s party so she helps Blair to make invitation cards. As such, Blair allowed Jenny to join the party. I realized there are many differences between China and America’s high school life. My high school life was a bit boring, most of the time, I stayed in school and we always had a lot of homework to do which meant we spent more time on studying rather than dating or going to parties.
