Why I love Falls Church

By Emily Grabauskas

“Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s Elite.” 

Many of us Gossip Girl lovers would die for a day to enjoy Blair Waldorf’s wardrobe, but are you willing to deal with Queen B and her minions the entire time too. Surely Chuck Bass would not sweep you off of your feet. On the upper East side, there is rarely a dull moment. Whether there is family drama or fights with your best friend, the Queen B will always have her friends to stand by her; or does she? Blair Waldorf may actually be one of the most highly feared students at Constance High School, but that is what attracts all of her wannabes. Is that what makes life enjoyable? Wanting to fit in is understandable, but on the upper East side, the stakes are set too high of a price. Falls Church is definitely the more friendly of choices unless you, yourself, are ready to compete with Blair Cornelia Waldorf.

At Falls Church High School, everyone is welcome and there is no place that we feel safer. There are no mean girls and no cliques, and surely no queen that must always sit higher than you on the Met Steps. At Falls Church High School, we are all on family. One that does not spread gossip or judge others. We stand by each other and aim to make the high school experience enjoyable for all. So be careful next time you watch Gossip Girl because no matter how much you are dying for a day in the life with to die for clothes or a date with Chuck Bass, love where you are because there is no better home than the home of the Jaguars.
