10 Reasons I Aspire to Be Like Elle Woods

Watching "Legally Blonde," we all came to love and admire Elle Woods for her determination and absolute fierceness that her whole life embodied. We saw her transform form a sorority girl to an amazing lawyer and did it all without a man by her side. We rooted for her, and I bet at some point you knew you wanted to be her (and probably still do.) Here are 10 reasons I aspire to be just like Elle Woods.

1. She is loyal to literally everyone.

In the movie, Elle's loyalty is one of her greatest characteristics she has.You never saw her break her promise or stab anyone in the back. She was loyal through everything. She is loyal to her man, her friends, her sorority, and her client, Brooke Wyndham. When Callahan really needed Brooke's alibi, she did not give it because it would break the trust between Elle and Brooke, and that ended up helping Elle become a great lawyer.

2. Her style is SUPER FAB.

Elle Woods is the queen of style, and she always dressed to impress. Even though this movie was made in the early 2000s, I would honestly still wear every outfit she rocked.

3. Her confidence is through the roof.

Elle's confidence oozed out of her. She knew she could make it into Harvard, and she did.

4. She never took less than what she deserved.

Yes, she followed Warner to law school. Yes, she tried to win him back, but she realized how awful he treated her and kicked him to the curb. You go, girl!

5. She fought to be a lawyer, and a good one at that.

While everyone was telling her she wasn't good enough or had what it takes to be a lawyer, she never believed them. She worked and worked to be successful and that is something that everyone should strive to do.

6. She stopped being the stereotypical lawyer and just went back to being her true self.

We watched Elle grow at her time at Harvard. Being the odd-girl-out, Elle had this pressure to fit in with her peers and also the one who stole Warner from her, but she soon realized that being herself is something to be proud of.

7. Her friendship with Paulette is the perfect model of true friendship.

Elle and Paulette are #friendshipgoals. They perfectly balance each other out. When one needed the other, they were always there. I mean, Elle taught Paulette how to win her man. That sounds like an awesome friend to me.

8. She is a feminist icon.

Throughout the whole movie, Elle is breaking gender norms. First, she was a woman going to be a lawyer. Second, she was a blonde woman going to be a lawyer. She crushed the gender stereotypes one step (in cute shoes) at a time. Elle proved that women can do anything if they set their mind to it.

9. She always had a positive attitude.

Elle was never negative about anything. She was always the one to encourage. She was positive that Brooke was innocent and that they would win the case without an alibi. She was positive when she was the only one wearing a costume to Vivian's party. You never saw her complain or get down on herself.

10. She ended up with the man of her dreams, but never relied on him to reach her goals.

AHHHH. Elle and Emmett are the cutest couple to ever live. Emmett accepted Elle for who she was and Elle did the same for Emmett. Also, Emmett never once doubted Elle's abilities. #Goals

Yes, I know this is from the second movie, but look how adorable!


Bow down to Queen Elle.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
