Ugh, as if!

15 Times "Clueless" Totally Described Your Life
Pluggedin

In 1995, Alicia Silverstone rocked the big screen in her yellow plaid jacket and skirt, and the coming of age classic Clueless was born. Ever since, the movie adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma has been a staple of MTV’s monthly lineup, and young women from all over can relate to those times they totally felt like the ditz with a credit card, Cher Horowitz. But what about this 90’s cult classic perfectly depicts what it was like to be a teenager and made us all totally buggin’?

1. The first world problems.

Admit it, there are just some mornings when you stare at your closet stuffed with clothes and realize you don’t like anything in there. While Cher is a little overboard, she shows that even the girl who has everything struggles in the morning. Pro tip from Cher herself: “I don’t rely on mirrors, so I always take Polaroids."

2. The party scene.

Rollin’ with the Homies is hard work, but Clueless sets the scene for a perfect teen party. Someone will spill a drink on your shoes. There will be those kids in the bathroom shaving their heads and the couple fighting the whole night. There’s always that one girl who passes out, and you’ll always get held up at gunpoint on your way home. Wait, that last one doesn’t usually happen? Well, Clueless has it mostly right.

3. The soundtrack has all the youth anthems.

With songs from No Doubt’s “Just A Girl," to David Bowie’s “Fashion," the soundtrack, even if it's dated, are songs that both musically and lyrically describe what it’s like to be a “Kid in America." If you’re out of your high school glory days, these tracks will bring you right back.

4. The gym class struggles.

“I would just like to say that physical education in this school is a disgrace. I mean, standing in line for forty minutes is hardly aerobically effective. I doubt I’ve worked off the calories in a stick of carefree gum.” - Cher

5. Cher, Dionne and Tai are you and your besties.

Self-centered or not, you and your best friends are always on the same page, and let’s face it, your outfits are always on point.

6. Those besties are brutally honest.

Because if your best friends can't be honest with you, who can?

7. You're very particular about your guys.

"You see how picky I am about my shoes, and those only go on my feet." - Cher

Ladies, if a total loser is violating your space, feel free to give 'em an "As if" and give them the boot.

8. Driving is tough.

“Honey, as far as you’re concerned I’m the messiah of the DMV.” – Cher’s driving test instructor

Cher struggles in getting her driver’s license, and she couldn’t argue her way out of failing her driver’s test. We all have those moments where we do things we probably shouldn’t while driving, and even the best drivers can definitely relate to Cher when she fails her driver’s test.

9. There's nothing a little shopping can't solve.

Sometimes you totally need to unwind, and what better way to do that than bringing new life to your closet, by having a little shopping spree!

10. Your dad can be tough, but loving.

“Listen, if anything happens to my daughter I got a 45 and a shovel, I doubt anyone would miss you.” - Cher's dad

Dad cares about you, and he doesn’t want to see his little girl get hurt.

11. If you're going to insult someone, you do it in a classy way.

If you’re going to talk-trash, always sound intelligent when you do so. This movie is so rich with comebacks, you can’t help but try and use them every now and then.

12. You don't mind "vegging out."

You don’t want to go out every night, sometimes you just want to have a fun night of watching cartoons instead of going out to the bars and parties… is there really anything wrong with that? Besides, Cher’s right – party clothes are so binding, you get all dressed up in clothes that make you feel fat, then the cops come and break the party, and it makes all your efforts of looking good pointless!

13. When you have to give presentations in class.

Take notes, Trump. Cher Horowitz is stepping up to the podium and is ready for a good old fashioned debate about letting “Hay-ti-an” refugees in the country. Fun fact, it was actually Alicia Silverstone who mispronounced “Haitian," and the directors loved it so much they kept it.

14. The struggles of getting your report card.

Getting your grades are either the best day or the worst day of the semester, but what’s to say those grades are permanent? I can heartily admit I’ve banged down some of my professors doors to negotiate my grades -you didn’t hear it from me, but it’s worked for both me and Cher. It’s not easy though, be prepared to help your teacher find their soulmate!

15. You don't have to search for love, let it find you!

So, you probably shouldn’t fall in love with your ex-step brother, but the sentiment is just the same. Cher was searching endlessly to find Mr. Right at the age of 16, only to realize the guy for her was right under her nose. You’re young, you just have be patient and love will find its way to you!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
