Gossip Girl
Posted by cps89 on September 22, 2008
Monday night may be football night in most of the dorms on North campus, but here in Balch, it’s Gossip Girl night. In the final moments before 8:00, the unit four lounge begins to fill as girls take their places on the chairs and couches. Around 7:57 someone turns the TV on, muting it so we don’t have to listen to the end of Dr. Phil. As soon as the show starts everyone gets quiet, and we settle in for an hour of girly fun. Each commercial break is greeted by an outburst of chatter as we discuss the latest developments; of course anyone who talks during the show is immediately shushed by everyone else. We all have a lot of work, and with prelim season just beginning, stress levels are generally pretty high, but every monday for an hour we leave our work in our rooms (well, some of us bring it with us, but it never gets done) and we take a much needed break.
