Blair Waldorf is my role model in life. As I watch her throughout the seasons of Gossip Girl, my obsession only grows. Rather than going into the normal bing-watching Netflix phase, I feel motivated to go out and accomplish all my goals, thanks to Blair Waldorf. She makes me want to dream bigger, dress better, and accomplish more.

Here are my reasons why I want to be Blair Waldorf.

1. Who wouldn’t want to be an independent, successful woman?

Blair Waldorf makes her own destiny. She doesn’t wait around for stuff to happen, she goes and gets it herself. Although her methods are slightly extreme and she has no limits, her perseverance and motivation is very admirable.

2. She always has a strong front and presents herself like a lady, except for the occasional slip up.

Regardless, she always recovers from her mistakes only stronger than before.

3. She doesn’t rely on a man to do anything.

In fact, she tells Chuck that although she loves him, she needs to be herself first before taking the identity as his girlfriend. She wants to create her own identity first. She wants to be a force to be reckoned with.

4. She takes her school work very seriously, ensuring she gets the best grades to get the best future.

She works hard for everything she gets while having a best friend who gets everything without lifting a finger. Not to mention, she manages to find girls who follow her around and worship her very being.

5. She is a loyal best friend, and is always honest when expressing her opinion.

Painfully honest.

6. Let us not forget her relationship with Chuck Bass.

Once they finally said those three 8-letter words to each other, we all knew they were destined for each other. They both only grow and get even better as the seasons go on.

7. Blair will always defend and protect her friends and family.

Anyone who threatens her friends or family gets on Blair's hit list and eventually leaves the city... with Blair's help of course.

8. She doesn’t open her heart to many people, but when she does, she does so whole-heartedly.

9. Wherever Blair goes, she totally owns it.

10. It's easy to be all talk and no action, but Blair always keeps her word.

Blair Waldorf is a powerful woman. She makes sure she gets what she wants and wears beautiful dresses doing it. She takes responsibility for her actions and owns who she is, flaws and all.

Blair takes the impossible and makes it possible. She never shows signs of weakness. She takes the world by storm, not letting anyone stand in her way, not even the Chuck Bass.
