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

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

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."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
