Spoiler: GG - In honor of graduation, let's lead with the cliche "Today is the first day of the rest of your life"

So much happened in last night's season finale of Gossip Girl. Here is the New York Magazine Daily Intel post and following my own tally I will add a few other details I think need to be pointed out before we lay GG to rest for the summer.

- Am I the only person who noticed that not only did Serena have her tassel braided into her hair but that she was not wearing a cap? Minus four because that is totally not allowed. When you graduate you were the ugly cap and gown and deal with it. Everyone else does.
- Would all of the graduates really have checked their phones in the middle of the ceremony? They are graduating in a church! Minus only two because while this does seem unlikely I guess this is the time period we live in.
- And while on that note, are we supposed to believe that the show's five main character are the only ones worth Gossip Girl labels? Minus only one because they are the most important people.
- Of course Dan would laugh it off that his name was left off the list of graduates. He also sees the irony in it. Plus two.
- Plus three for Cyrus' speech to Lily and Rufus about dating "at their age." hahahaha
- Plus two for Serena's naiveté in thinking Gossip Girl would actually meet her at the bar. What fun would it be if we knew her identity?
- Plus five for the scene where Blair gives Jenny her headband as a symbolic passing of the torch and Jenny then immediately saying next year there will be no more headbands.

So here are some other points of interest worth pointing out.
- I loved when Gossip Girl announced she would be following them to college and that because all of their secrets are now out, everyone has a clean slate. How long do you think that one will last?
- Would Vanessa have really forgiven Nate that quickly and let him join her on the backpacking trip? I'm not so sure she would.
- I loved the subtlety of Scott, Rufus and Lily's son. But if Dan really does go to Yale and not NYU, then they won't get to be friends.
- I know it isn't terribly realistic that Georgina requests Blair as a roommate and it just happens, but that promises to be an interesting twist come next season. Though, what are the chances of Blair living in the dorms? She would totally just rent an apartment near campus.
- Did I miss something or did everyone else find it totally random when Carter showed up claiming to know where Serena's dad is? I didn't realize he was missing or that she was looking for him.
- How perfect was the end of the episode where Blair and Chuck actually ended up together? I just really hope they can stick it out for at least the summer because I would love to see scenes next season of them being all lovey-dovey.

So what did you think of the episode? Are you satisfied with the way things ended? What are you looking forward to most for next season? Feel free to answer these questions as well as leave me comments about you own reality points.

Until next season: You know you love me. xoxo GG
