Lately, I've been addicted to Gossip Girl, one of The CW’s hit TV shows. As of right
now, I’m only on season 5 and, although I know the last episode of the series
is premiering tonight, it will probably remain one of my favorite shows.
Out
of all of the Upper East Side’s residents, Blair Waldorf has steadily become my
favorite person. In the beginning, I didn't like her at all. She seemed like a
snobby, conniving girl. Over the seasons, more of her true character has been
revealed and has made me relate to her.
Blair’s
killer fashion sense and perfectly-groomed brown hair set her apart as the
queen bee of the UES. In complete contrast to Serena, Blair doesn't rely on her
status and mother’s connections. She has always striven to excel academically
and find her own place in this world. This endears her to me since I have
always worked hard to achieve all of my goals and succeed academically.
Blair
will do anything to protect her friends and is extremely loyal to those she
cares the most about. One of her best qualities is that she never gives up on
the people that she loves. This is proven by her relationship with Chuck Bass,
one of Gossip Girl’s best romances in my opinion. No matter what fate throws at
them, Blair never gives up on Chuck.
She’s
scared to let her vulnerability show, but when she does, you get to see the
complete Blair Waldorf, flaws and all. One of those flaws is her overreaching
sense of insecurity. I've dealt with some of the same insecurities, so I can
relate to her.
Her
scheming is one of her worst, yet best, characteristics. The best drama and intriguing
plot twists can sometimes arise from a classic Waldorf scheme. Her schemes and
lies are balanced by her overall good, caring nature.
Leighton
Meester was the perfect choice of actress to play Blair Waldorf. Honestly, I
can’t imagine anyone else in her place. Her portrayal of Blair made me love
Blair even more because she captures her essence perfectly.
