I have NO shame when I say one of my favorite TV shows is Gossip Girl. From season one to season six, I have become an Upper East Sider and grown to love characters like my own friends. Like everyone who has watched the show, I was devastated when it ended (can we get a reunion, please?). Whether you are more of a Blair or Serena, a Chuck or Nate, you will appreciate this list of 25, but not all, lessons Gossip Girl taught us over the years.
1.
If there's one thing I learned from the characters in Gossip Girl that is if you want something, you go for it.
2.
Nothing hurts more than when two people are meant for each other but can't be together.
3.
You'll find someone who will love you the way Chuck loves Blair.
4.
Best friends are meant to see you at your worst and bring you back to your best.
5.
Nothing a little bubbly can't fix.
6.
7.
Love yourself first. Always.
8.
Many come and go, but the one for you will always stay. Remember that.
9.
Broken hearts will need time to heal.
10.
You are worthy of much more than you expect.
11.
High expectations leave you with one thing: Disappointment.
12.
Surround yourself with people who only appreciate you.
13.
Sometimes what you need has been right there in front of you all along.
14.
Love is a great and powerful force.
15.
Even the best of friends can get in fights.
16.
People change. And that's okay. It's healthy to grow.
17.
No matter how hard we try or want it, things don't work out.
18.
Go ahead, its okay to be bitter and stay in from time to time. Treat yo self.
19.
We all hold on when we try to move on sometimes.
20.
Bettering ourselves is a constant battle. Don't give up on yourself.
21.
Fall down? Fine. Get right back up and stand tall.
22.
Swallow your pride and apologize. Be the bigger person no matter how hard it is.
23.
"I'm Chuck Bass" has become the best excuse there is.
24.
Not to mention Gossip Girl has (FINALLY) taught me who Gossip Girl is ;)
25.
And last but not least. You know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl.
