"Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite. Who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell. You know you love me.
Xoxo,
Gossip Girl."
About two months ago, I started watching what would become one of my favorite shows, "Gossip Girl." Right from the start, I felt connected to each of the characters of Brooklyn and the Upper East Side. One character, in particular, stood out to me: Miss Blair Waldorf. Blair is the ultimate "It" girl. Her mom is a fashion designer, her best friend is Serena Van der Woodsen, she had an enviable job at the W, her relationship with Chuck is to die for, and so much more. I've learned a good bit from the belle of the Upper East Side. Here are five times Blair had it absolutely right.
1. Know your worth.
Blair never settles for anything less than what she deserves. She reminds us to keep our head high and our standards even higher.
2. It is OK to let go.
You can only hang on for so long. If you are not satisfied with your relationship after trying your hardest to make things work, don't be afraid to walk away. It wasn't easy, but Blair did it.
3. Don't let anyone stand in your way.
Blair is a strong woman. She knows what she wants, and she won't let anyone or anything stand in her way.
4. It's never really that bad.
Things may seem like they are falling apart, one bad thing after another, but there is always a bright side up ahead. Nothing is ever as bad as it seems.
5. Make it happen.
The real world is not a fairytale. You can't waste your life sitting around waiting for things to happen. You have to make them happen. Blair wanted to be a powerful woman, so she went out and became a powerful woman. Blair wanted her own happy ending, so she made her one happen.
