Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen are totally friendship goals. Though they may have their differences, their friendship and loyalty to each other proves strong, time and time again. Through seven seasons of "Gossip Girl," we've seen their friendship survive everything. Here are 10 helpful tips about friendship I learned about from watching "Gossip Girl."
1. Hold each other accountable.
B isn't afraid to call S out for sleeping with her boyfriend, but she doesn't keep that from getting in the way of their friendship.
2. It's OK to be brutally honest.
Sometimes you just need your best friend to be honest with you.
3. Know when to swallow your pride and say sorry.
Despite S and B's fights, they know when to call it quits and say sorry to each other.
4. Always be there as a shoulder to cry on.
Being a best friend is more than laughs and sleepovers. Sometimes you just need to sit and cry with the one person who will always listen.
5. Have each other's backs no matter what life throws at you.
Sometimes it seems like your world is crashing down. In those moments, remember you always have your best friend to turn to.
6. Be genuinely excited for your friends.
Don't let jealousy get in the way of supporting your friend. It's no secret that B gets jealous of S, but in the end, she knows when to get the green monster off of her back.
7. Express how you're feeling.
Hiding your emotions from your friend will only cause problems. Don't be afraid.
8. Keep them up to date on your love life.
9. Keep it lighthearted.
Inside jokes NEVER get old.
10. Having a positive attitude on life, means having a positive attitude in your friendships.
S is always there to lift B's spirits. Even if it means dressing up for no reason and running around NYC talking pictures.
11. Never let your friends settle for anything less than they deserve.
Remind them of their worth. After all, you're friends are the caviar.
Who would've thought you could learn friendship lessons from the Upper East Siders? "Gossip Girl" may be over, but S and B are forever.
