XOXO, "Gossip Girl."

9 Lessons 'Gossip Girl' Taught Every Girl
The CW

"Gossip Girl" has many hidden life lessons inside its action-packed plot. Many of the lessons it teaches a great for high school and college girls, especially in their relationships.

Since it has been 10 years since "Gossip Girl" first aired, here are a few lessons that we can take away from the show.

1. The person that is always there for you, might actually be the only one who is really for you.

Blair was with many other guys, and so was Chuck. They always came back to each other, and ultimately were each others' endgame.

2. Don't hold grudges until you know the truth.

Blair was very unforgiving of what Serena did in the beginning. With a little time, a few drinks, and many explanations, they forgave each other for their wrongdoings and were the best of friends again.

3. Always wear your invisible crown.

Enough said.

4. “What we have is a great love. It’s complicated. Intense. All-consuming. No matter what we do and how much we fight, it’ll always pull us in”

Gossip Girl teaches us a lot about love and relationships, whether we see it or not. I know we were all jealous of some of the relationships, while we hated others.

5. Shopping is the best medicine.

Living in the life of Blair Waldorf would be a dream. Shopping at Bendel's and Bergdorf's when I'm sad, lonely, bored, mad, would fix any of my issues.

6. Always have a role model to look up to.

Blair aspired to be Grace Kelly. Having a role model can help you be happier, and wanting to succeed more.

7. What's right isn't always easy, and what is easy isn't always right.

I think Chuck needed to hear this more when taking random girls home. In life, succeeding may be hard, but it will certainly be worth all the pain and stress.

8. “You can’t make people love you, but you can make them fear you.”

Over time, Blair had many people on her bad side. She lived by this quote, and the fact that if you can't be friends, might as well be frenemies.

9. Gossip Girl would be awesome if it was a real thing.

Seriously. Who else would love dishing dirt 30 seconds after something went down? Celeb version?

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.
