9 Things We Can All Learn from Blair Waldorf
Blair Waldorf Archives-Gossip Girl

Though I was late to the Gossip Girl bandwagon and just recently finished the series, I was hooked from the first episode. Blair Waldorf, who started off as a spoiled, snotty, rich child, living as part of "Manhattan's elite", soon become one of the most relatable and dynamic characters in the whole show. There were times where we all absolutely hated her guts, loved her cunningness, or felt so gut wrenchingly bad for her. Though not always the perfect role model, Blair Waldorf can definitely teach us a thing or two. Here is some of her best advice!

1.

Blair always taught us to go after what we want. She lead by example, and fought tooth and nail to become a powerful, strong woman. She taught us to double our effort when times get tough, and never except no as an answer.

2.

Blair always went after what she wanted, and she taught us to do the same. We must seize opportunities, and pave a way for ourselves. She taught us not to wait on others to bolster our own success.

3.

She taught us to value our self worth. We should never feel as if we are not as good as others. You are the "destination"!

4.

She taught us to never give up. Have faith, and know that everything will be fine. You will get through any problem you are facing.

5.

She showed us how to seek help, even when it is hard. She taught us to discover ourselves, our hopes, our dreams, and the people that we want to be.

6.

Though B and S definitely did not have a perfect relationship, they both showed us what it means to be there for your best friend, through thick and thin. No matter how bad their relationship got, when they truly needed one another, Blair and Serena had each other's backs.

7.

We can be independent and happy with ourselves. We don't need a guy to be us feel fulfilled, or to make our lives complete.

8.

But she also showed us, not only how hard, but also how wonderful finding your true love can be. Blair and Chuck's relationship put us on such a roller coaster of emotions, yet they both showed us that true love is worth the wait. If two people love each other, they will find their way back to each other, no matter the circumstances.

9.

Most of all, Blair knew how to keep it real. We can't always be perfect!

Blair Waldorf can teach us all a thing or two about valuing ourselves, and living life to the fullest! She taught us how to be strong and independent, but also how to fall in love with your true other half. Whenever you need a boost, just follow some of Blair's most inspirational advice!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
