9 Lessons 'Gossip Girl' Taught Every Girl
The CW

"Gossip Girl" has many hidden life lessons inside its action-packed plot. Many of the lessons it teaches a great for high school and college girls, especially in their relationships.

Since it has been 10 years since "Gossip Girl" first aired, here are a few lessons that we can take away from the show.

1. The person that is always there for you, might actually be the only one who is really for you.

Blair was with many other guys, and so was Chuck. They always came back to each other, and ultimately were each others' endgame.

2. Don't hold grudges until you know the truth.

Blair was very unforgiving of what Serena did in the beginning. With a little time, a few drinks, and many explanations, they forgave each other for their wrongdoings and were the best of friends again.

3. Always wear your invisible crown.

Enough said.

4. “What we have is a great love. It’s complicated. Intense. All-consuming. No matter what we do and how much we fight, it’ll always pull us in”

Gossip Girl teaches us a lot about love and relationships, whether we see it or not. I know we were all jealous of some of the relationships, while we hated others.

5. Shopping is the best medicine.

Living in the life of Blair Waldorf would be a dream. Shopping at Bendel's and Bergdorf's when I'm sad, lonely, bored, mad, would fix any of my issues.

6. Always have a role model to look up to.

Blair aspired to be Grace Kelly. Having a role model can help you be happier, and wanting to succeed more.

7. What's right isn't always easy, and what is easy isn't always right.

I think Chuck needed to hear this more when taking random girls home. In life, succeeding may be hard, but it will certainly be worth all the pain and stress.

8. “You can’t make people love you, but you can make them fear you.”

Over time, Blair had many people on her bad side. She lived by this quote, and the fact that if you can't be friends, might as well be frenemies.

9. Gossip Girl would be awesome if it was a real thing.

Seriously. Who else would love dishing dirt 30 seconds after something went down? Celeb version?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
