Important Things Gossip Girl Taught Me

*****SPOILER ALERT*****

Important Things Gossip Girl Taught Me
We Heart It

Just a little help from none other than Manhattan's elite.

Your parents are just as messed up as you are.

Remember when Eleanor Waldorf promised Blair the spotlight in her photoshoot, but then tried to trick her and Serena to get Serena to do it instead, simply because her publicist thought Serena modeled better? Or when CeCe Rhodes made Lily Van Der Woodsen choose between her inheritance and Rufus Humphrey, and Lily ended up choosing money over love?

Never be afraid to stand up for yourself.

"You're a Waldorf. People don't tell you who you are, you tell them." -S

Your appearance isn't important, it's what's underneath that really matter.

As much as we've all dreamt about eating yogurt on the top steps at the MET with Queen B, it's not worth losing sleep over. We all saw what happened to Little J and Eric with her yogurt pouring incident and it's just not worth losing who you are or your real friends.

It's okay to ask for help.

Sometimes it seems hard but it's really important to know that you can and should ask for help if you need it. Serena did it for her drug problem and when she finally talked about Peter's OD. Blair did it for her eating disorder. Erik spent time at the Ostroff Center for everything he had going on. Nate let the Humphrey's help him out in the wake of everything with his dad. You shouldn't have to feel alone because it is okay to ask for help if you need it- there will be someone who wants to lend a hand.

There are very few problems that can't be solved with waffles.

At least if you're Rufus Humphrey, that is.

In high school, there will always be rumors.

People talk, they always do. Remember to not let it get to you. High school is the worst and people are shallow and rumors suck, but think on the bright side- at least they care enough to talk about you.

Running away from your problems doesn't solve anything.

Serena going to boarding school didn't change the fact that she slept with Nate and potentially ruined multiple friendships. Chuck changing his name and hiding away in Paris with Eva didn't change his situation with Blair. You have to face your problems head on; they don't just go away, so you'll have to deal with them eventually.

It can be hard to trust people and that's okay- sometimes it just takes a little time.

For her entire life, Serena had been surrounded by her mom's whirlwind relationships. There was man after man in and out, so Serena never had much of a role model when it came to good relationships, which is why it took her so long to finally tell Dan that she loved him. (Nevermind that Dan is actually the worst but you get the point.)


Sometimes you just need to put on a great outfit, be a bit of a bitch, and get things done.

This one was learned from the best, aka none other than Blair Cornelia Waldorf herself. How else can you expect to hold Queen B status?


You shouldn't have to lose your true self to keep your friends.

The downfall of Little J all started when she pretended to be something she wasn't just to get in with Blair and her minions. You shouldn't have to change who you are for people to like you- if they don't like you for you, it's just not worth it.

Know your worth.

You deserve the world, and you shouldn't be afraid to show people that you know it.

Don't judge someone based on who you think they are.

Don't judge a book by its cover. We've all heard it a million times, but it's so true. No one ever though Hum-drum Humphrey could really be the ultimate insider, yet there he was, GG in the flesh.


No matter how messy life gets, you can get through it with good friends by your side.

Sure, they had their fair share of issues, but you'd be lying if you said you never considered the GG crew major #SquadGoals

You know you love me,

XOXO

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
