10 Reasons Why 'Gossip Girl' Should Be On Your List Of Best TV Shows EVER

"You know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl."

In This Article:

"Gossip Girl" was super popular 10 years ago, but who's to say it should be forgotten? There are some solid reasons why it should remain on your top 10.

1. Who doesn't love seeing drama between hot Upper East Siders?

Blair Waldorf and Serena Van der Woodsen start the best of all cat fights. The show starts off with Blair getting upset that Serena crashed her party. But why? Well, you may think it's based on some boy, but in fact, it is much deeper than that. Their comebacks are witty and fun to watch. And best of all, both of them are queens in their world. What's better than watching two queens squabble for their spots?

2. The boys on the show are to die for

Nate Archibald, the son of one of the richest families, played by actor Chase Crawford, should definitely not be missed! I cannot pretend that he wasn't one of the reasons that I was watching the show. With his beautiful blue-green eyes, his character is not one to ignore, for he plays a lot of important roles in the show. Including some of the most steamy ones!

3. Who could forget family drama? 

Not only is 'Gossip Girl,' well, full of gossip, there is also relatable family drama. In fact, family is one of the things that nobody can change, even rich people on the Upper East Side. You're either born into it or not. And what's left is what you can do to change yourself to make your own parents like who you are.

4. Also, Chuck Bass—enough said

Swoon, swoon! Chuck Bass starts off as one of those boys you tend to avoid in high school. But his sophisticated charm comes out eventually. His love for Blair shines throughout the show, even though he has been extremely toxic for her. But who's to say that all relationships are perfect? Chuck Bass is the epitome of perfection, as he claims himself multiple times.

5. It's unexpected

Spoilers alert! How are we supposed to know that Dan Humphrey, Lonely Boy, is the anonymous identity that was behind Gossip Girl the whole time? I mean, besides the fact that he loves to write, we didn't think he would be exploiting people's lives.

6. Secret love affairs

Nate and Vanessa are one of the most underrated couples on this show. They should have been together. They were made for each other. But I guess some stuff on the show can never be explained.

7. The plotting and the backstabbing

Blair Waldorf is the queen of schemes and Chuck Bass is the king. No wonder they both fit so well together. They are the pair of matching suits in a set of cards. Not one 'Gossip Girl' fan dares to say they hate the schemes on the show; in fact, that's the thing that they are always looking forward to.

8. Old lovers

Anyone with eyes can see that they have that chemistry still flowing in their veins. Nothing can keep these two apart, not even new budding husbands.

9. Nobody ever seems to notice Dan

He is there, everyone. I mean, he is Gossip GIrl, and none of y'all seem to notice that. He may be lurking in the corners of every party, but he is watching your every move, waiting for your shining moment to be demolished.

10. But everyone seems to come together and love each other yet again

Even though there may be schemes, backstabbing, pain, and the feeling of love and betrayal all at once, the characters on the show always seem to know how to be there for the others and forgive each other for their mistakes. At the end of the show, everyone decides to leave behind their vengeful ways, and Dan agrees to close down Gossip Girl for good, once and for all.

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.
