Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf is an iconic queen of mean and the Upper East Side. In her quest for power and control, she definitely made a lot of mistakes, but she actually got a lot more right than she gets credit for – both in her understanding of how her world really works and in the ways she had to learn to grow as a person. So let’s take a look back at Blair’s outlook on life and relationships, how she changed (or didn’t…,) and the most important lessons she can teach us.
