The 4 Best Gossip Girl Characters

In This Article:

Quarantine has given me plenty of time to binge on Netflix. Instead of venturing out and watching something new, I ran back to my roots. I'm rewatching Gossip Girl for probably the fifth time. I've had plenty of time to get a feel for the characters, and the ones on this list are elite. Elite because they've made my list, not because they're among the richest people in the Upper East Side.


Chuck Bass

Giphy

The character everyone loves to hate. We watch Chuck grow from an immature high schooler to a free spirit, and successful businessman. Chuck is made of daddies money given to him by a negligent father. Chuck is pretty much always found drowning his daddy issues in alcohol or women. He insists on having the best and always gets what he wants. Even if it means manipulating you. How else would you make it on the Upper Eastside?

Dorota

Giphy

Dorota is all too often overlooked because she is "just a maid". In reality, Dorota is a hardworking polish woman who puts up with a lot from the Waldorf family. When Blair is not bossing Dorota around, she often confides in her for advice. I might even argue that Dorota serves as a mother figure to Blair since her actual mom is usually absent. What earned Dorota her spot on this list is that when she isn't engaging in maid duties, she can be found scheming. She may be a maid but she is no different than everyone else in the Upper East Side.

Blair Waldorf

Did you really think I would leave Blair off the list? She's spoiled, a master manipulator, and queen of finesse. Blair has the power to work her way out of any situation with no fingerprints on the scene. Just like Chuck, she always gets what she wants. She's had Chuck, Nate Archibald, and even a prince. Aside from her negatives, Blair is a fashion icon and perfect lady when she wants to be. One of New York's finest.

Eric Van der Woodsen

Giphy

Eric starts out in a center for people struggling with their mental health. We later find out that he was staying there because he attempted suicide. Eric's story serves as a lesson that anyone can suffer from mental health issues. You can live the most luxurious life and still face struggles. Eric is the most loyal and friendly of the Van Der Woodsen family. To me, he seems like the type of person you feel like you've known forever. The type of person you can trust and that quality earned him a spot on this list.

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
