7 Lessons I Learned From Gossip Girl
v3wall

Gossip Girl has to be one of my favorite shows to binge watch. If you have not seen the show, it is about this group of friends, in the Upper East Side of NYC. There are five main characters - Blair, Serena, Dan, Nate and Chuck - each are constantly being watched by "Gossip Girl" who has a website, documenting their every move for everyone to keep up with. Here are a few lessons that I've learned just by watching a few episodes.

1. Secrets don't make friends.

This is very true and can be seen on the show. The friends keep secrets from one another, and they build up over time. Every once in awhile, they are exposed by Gossip Girl, and the friendships become tensed.

2. People can change.

Chuck and Serena are two perfect examples. Chuck, the bad boy, turns sweet and caring, wanting the best for his friends. Serena, the party girl, is sober and trying to find a real relationship. People can totally change, it just takes a little time.

3. Fairytales don't come true.

Let's face it, fairy tales are nice and all, but they aren't real. In Season 5, Blair marries a prince and quickly learns that he is not who he acts like he is . . . Blair does not even love him. Blair's real prince, Chuck, is no longer close to her, since she made the decision of being on the throne.


4. Relationships will come and go, but friendships last forever.

The characters have MANY relationships, but through all the heartbreaks, the friendships are their saving grace.

5. Friendship advice

Serena and Blair are the real dynamic duo and the definition of friendship goals. Through the many heart to heart conversations, a lot can be learned.


6. You are your flaws

Serena has her flaws, encounters numerous a day even. But, she accepts each of them because they make her who she is.


7. Everyone loves gossip and drama

People are born to be nosy, there's no avoiding it it.

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.
