The 10 Worst Decisions Made on Gossip Girl

Even Manhattan's elite screws up sometimes...

The 10 Worst Decisions Made on Gossip Girl

So, I know that "Gossip Girl" has been long gone and that the drama of the upper east side isn't much of a popular culture topic anymore, but it still sits on my brain on a daily basis. By playing such an important role in my awkward adolescence, I quickly developed strong opinions about this crew of teenage Manhattan elites who I grew to love and to hate, as I'm sure that you all did as well. It's no secret that these characters made some catastrophic mistakes and completely irrational decisions throughout the series. Here some of the top ones that really left me wondering what they were thinking.


1. Any decision that Serena ever made

She gets herself into trouble, reflects on her life, can’t choose between Dan and Nate, changes her ways, goes back to getting herself into trouble, and repeats.


2. Little J's makeup choices from about season two on

There was so much black eyeliner.


3. Chuck deciding to be a peasant in France for a while

Chuck, we all know where you belong: in a ridiculously expensive suit in your billion dollar penthouse and saying something completely inappropriate. We will have none of this "giving up the empire" stuff.


4. Lily and Rufus getting married

This made Dan and Serena step-siblings shortly after becoming a couple, only to then be in-laws when Lily and Rufus tied the knot.


5. That awkward period of “Jenny and Nate”

Nathaniel, you are about 26 and this girl is about 7. Reconsider your choices.


6. When Blair and Dan decided they would be an acceptable couple

Blair should be with no one other than Chuck, but if she’s going to be with someone else, then it is 100 percent not Dan Humphrey, her best friend's ex/brother/future hubby. Blair, you’re better than that lonely boy.


7. Dan not asking Georgina for a paternity test for his “son"

The psycho girl who is known for lying and manipulating says that her baby is mine. That seems legit.


8. Vanessa

Her character was a mistake entirely. Does anyone actually like her? Did she serve any beneficial purpose?


9. Blair actually following through with marrying Louis

Even though he was gorgeous royalty, we all know that Chuck belonged next to her at the altar. (It's a good thing that we got there, kids.)


10. Making lonely boy the gossip girl

Not only does it make no sense and the loopholes are infinite, but we all know that Dorota would have been the perfect gossip girl.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
