XOXO, "Gossip Girl."

"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?

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
