As "Gossip Girl" lovers, we can all go on and on about the reasons we look up to this show and what it's shown us. Even though the setting of this show is most likely not realistic in our realm of a world, we still somehow get sucked into it with no remorse. Each character is unique in their own way and there's so much that we hate to love. Here are some of the life lessons that we can thank to "Gossip Girl."
1. "You need to be cold to be a queen."
As B told J, you have to be cold to be a queen. Sometimes, you don't have to be as nice as everyone else. It's okay to say no. Do what you must do in order to reach the top and don't let anyone or anything get in your way.
2. Everyone deserves their Chuck Bass.
When it comes to true love, these two have it and so much more. Fight for what you want and need in a man and never settle for anything less. As Chuck said, "If two people were meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back." Giving up is never an option.
3. "People don't tell you who you are. You tell them."
Never just sit there while people bad mouth you. Only you know what you have been through and what shoes you have walked through. Nobody else. Remember that.
4. If your friendship isn't like S & B's, then get a new best friend.
"Be careful who you open up to. Only a few people actually care, the rest are just curious." Yes, Serena and Blair have had their ups and downs. But in the end, they're indefinitely there for each other.
5. "Whoever said that money doesn't buy happiness didn't know where to shop."
Lets not limit ourselves now. Having a bad day? Take a load off and buy yourself something nice. No matter what they say, it can always make you feel a little better at the least.
6. Never surround yourself with horrid judging people.
This group of friends always defends one another no matter what the circumstances may be. They know each other's deepest secrets. But, no matter how awful they may be, they always remain judgment free.
7. Be blunt, and never hide anything.
As you can see from the "Gossip Girl" himself, our secrets will come out one way or another. Save yourself and tell the truth from the beginning. You'll be saving yourself the troubles.
8. We should all work as hard as it takes to have a Dorota.
Not only is there to do your shopping, laundry, and etc. But she is there to be your person who knows everything and anything about you (but of course, will never tell a soul). Dorota did a pretty good job at keeping Blair together and I'm there's nobody who could say they don't want a Dorota for themselves.
9. "Destiny is for losers..."
As the queen would say, "Destiny is for losers. It's just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen." Be more of a go-getter. You can't solely rely on people these days, you have to be independent and do things for yourself. Sometimes, you're all you've got.
10. "Fashion is the most powerful art there is."
No matter where you're going, be sure you're always dressed to the nines. The way you dress is how you express and represent yourself, so do it well.
