It’s the ninth anniversary of Gossip Girl, which means it has been almost a decade since the show first aired. We’re celebrating by handing you some life advice from Blair Waldorf to inspire you as the new year looms upon us. When you think of Gossip Girl, it’s impossible not to think of the beloved Blair. She redefined what it meant to be a #girlboss and has proved that you can really have it all.
Forget about all the ‘when life gives you lemons’ quotes, because who you should really be listening to is Queen B herself. Still need convincing?
While most characters glow up after season one, she’s always straight up glowed. Of course, being insanely wealthy always helps. While she, too has been a victim of karma, it has never taken her too long to get back on her feet. She has never ceased to be the Blair Waldorf we know and love. So, if you’re to take anything away from Gossip Girl, it’s that no one does life better than Blair. Here are ten of the lessons that she’s taught us.
1. Don’t be afraid to assert some dominance… or a lot of it.
2. Never listen to anyone who says your standards are too high.
3. Always be self-aware. Don’t ever let anyone think that they know you better than you do.
5. Don’t depend on others to help you find yourself.![]()
