Blake Lively<\/strong><\/a> is looking back on her past fondly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe summer gossip girl turned 18\u2026,\u201d Lively, 38, wrote via instagram on Sunday, September 21, reflecting on the 18th anniversary of her hit series, Gossip Girl<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis show was my college. It was my education, my social life, my hardwork, my late nights and early mornings, my teacher,\u201d she continued. \u201cNew York City and Silvercup Studios (& sometimes Paris \u2728) was my campus for SIX years.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cSo many memories. What. A. Decade. \ud83d\udc96 What a University.\u201d Lively also included a series of throwback photos from the show\u2019s set, including a large ensemble photo as well as snaps with several of her costars, including Leighton Meester<\/strong> and Penn Badgley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tBlake Lively has been in the business for two decades, making headlines both on and off the screen. Lively rose to fame playing Bridget in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants franchise opposite America Ferrera (Carmen), Alexis Bledel (Lena) and Amber Tamblyn (Tibby). Since the first film in 2005, the foursome has remained close. \u201cWhen [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Gossip Girl<\/em>, based on a book series by the same name, aired on the CW from September 2007 to December 2012. Lively starred as socialite Serena van der Woodsen, the central \u201cit\u201d girl of the series.<\/p>\n

In June, Lively reprised the role<\/a> while promoting her cocktail brand, Betty Booze. She even enlisted the help of her costar Zuzanna Szadkowski<\/strong>, who played Dorota Kishlovsky on the series, in the clip published via YouTube on June 30.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have tea,\u201d Szadkowski says, a play on the popular fan theory that Dorota should have been Gossip Girl. (Badgley\u2019s Dan was ultimately revealed as the mysterious student behind the voice.)<\/p>\n

\u201cGood tea?\u201d Lively replies, to which Szadkowski answered, \u201cThe best tea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Szadkowski then pulled out a can of Betty Booze vodka iced tea and two cups. As she poured one for each of them, she added, \u201cIt\u2019s crisp. Balanced. Nothing artificial.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s hard to find around these parts,\u201d Lively added.<\/p>\n

As fans of the show will recall, Szadkowski\u2019s Dorota was the housekeeper and trusted confidante of Meester\u2019s Blair Waldorf.<\/p>\n
