C 7- 15 Life Lessons That Gossip Girl Taught All Of Us
Can you imagine it has been eight whole years since we received our last Gossip Girl blast, wherein she finally revealed the secret she vowed never to tell! The superficial lifestyle shown had depths you should not miss out on! Here we are, revisiting Gossip Girl, our one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite.
1. You Are Your Own Army
No matter how many bffs you have, or how long you’ve known them, when it comes to dreams, ambitions, and college applications, even your best friend can turn into your worst enemy! You just got to pick your own battles, fight them, and let your inner Queen B ascend to the throne.
2. More The Fame, More The Blame-Game
The Humphrey Loft was way happier before the Van Der Woodsen spotlight tainted them all! Fame comes with a hefty price tag attached. Even if you want to keep your head high in the sky, do remember to keep your feet close to the roots.
3. Keep your friends close. And your enemies closer.
The one who you had always considered an ‘outsider’ can change the rules of your own game in a wink’s time, and there would be nothing you would be able to do to undo it! Know your enemy. Watch their move. And know when to deport them to the farthest Jesus Camp on time.
4. When Best Friends Scheme, The Enemies Scream!
There’s absolutely nothing that your friends and a few mimosas cannot solve! We exaggerate our problems by keeping them just to ourselves. Share your problems with your closed ones. A true friend never judges and solves your problem like it’s their own.
5. No Empire Is Built In A Day
Properties can be inherited. What we often forget is, that along with Gucci handbags, our Upper East Siders also inherited gigantic baggage of societal expectations, responsibilities and constant threats! Perseverance is the key, folks!
6. Even The Millionaires Can’t Buy Happiness
True happiness lies within. I know it’s cliched, but the show will definitely make you realize how accurate it is!
7. Sometimes, Where There Is Smoke, There May Be No Fire At All!
Even our Gossip Girl landed up in foot in mouth situations from time to time. Not all that is heard can be trusted.
8. It’s Sad Why Wearing Your Heart on Your Sleeve Isn’t A Fashion Trend Yet!
People are more complex than they appear. Don’t be too quick to judge!
9. All Good Things Take Time
Be patient. If two people are meant to be together, eventually they’ll find their way back.
10. Know your priorities
Do try making some “Me — Time” amongst the social chaos that engulfs us always! You and only you will be your forever companion in this journey called life.
11. Homemade Waffles Outdo All Gourmet
There’s no place like home. No matter how crazy your family is, they always got your back!
12. Quick Wit And A Sharp Tongue Will Always Take You Places
Words hurt more than swords. Keep your wordplay game strong, and your comeback game stronger.
13. Whatever You Do, Do It With Style
If you are what you wear, you better dress the part you want. Be your own trendsetter, but also do remember, “Tights are not pants, and sandals aren’t shoes!” xD
14. The Throne Is Yours!
In a world full of skeptics, the least we can do is, believe in ourselves! Know your worth. And know it can never be traded. For anything, ever!
15. Life’s A mess. For All!
You’re not the only damsel in distress! Life happens. To all. What once was your dream, may now be a nightmare. You just have to deal with it.
You know you love me,
xoxo
