12 Life Lessons From Blair Waldorf

Blair Waldorf is one of my personal favorites from "Gossip Girl." Besides being known for her relentless reign as Queen B of the Upper East Side, Blair is known for her many, many spouts of wisdom throughout the show. Here are a few quotes that every girl (and guy) can (and should) live by:

1. Mimosas can solve any problem.

Everyone knows that on the Upper East Side, mimosas are crucial. Blair always kept her faith, even if she needed a few mimosas to help her.

2. No shaming here!

Blair is one of the best feminist icons of our time.

3. Never give up.

Blair always got what she wanted, even if she had to fight for it. It just goes to show, you can have whatever you want if you want it enough.

4. People don't need to love you.

As she said above to Little J, you really can't make people love you; the Queen B would rather have people fear her.

5. You can survive.

If Blair could survive without Chuck Bass, you can make it through this semester.

6. You're not a servant to your emotions.

Your feelings do not own you.

7. You can sleep when you're dead.

Need to study? Do it. Paper due at 8 A.M. tomorrow and it's already 11 p.m.? Write it. You want to finish that book tonight? Finish it.

8. Shopping can make you happy.

Most people can't just go out and buy something from Bendal's or Saks, but shopping can help you relax, thus making you happy.

9. You're never second best.

You are caviar. You are the best choice, don't change who you are.

10. You deserve the world.

Don't settle for less. You should always be someone's first priority.

11. Destiny? It's for losers.


You need to go out make things happen. You can't just sit around waiting for something good or bad.

12. Things will be okay.

Said by the literal Queen of Drama herself. If you're going through a bad time, one day you'll look back and realize it wasn't really that bad after all.


XOXO, Gossip Girl.

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.
