Elle Woods of the iconic "Legally Blonde" franchise celebrated her 15th anniversary this week of the film's release. In addition to the movie, the story of Elle Woods coming into her own was turned into a book, musical and even multiple sequels of the film. Ms. Woods is a movie icon in her own right. Her positivity, love of pink and chihuahua, Bruiser, have inspired viewers across the country. Elle is a woman that everyone can learn some tips from. Her bold moves are something to admire and her life lessons are plentiful throughout the movie.

1. Always have faith In yourself

Elle couldn't have said it better herself!

2. Don't let anyone try to change your dreams and passions

Elle had her standards set high for Harvard Law and did not let anyone who doubted her get in her way!

3. You should always work hard for what you want

Elle had to work her butt off to get into Harvard Law to chase after her ex-boyfriend Warner. She definitely proves that hard work pays off.

4. Always have confidence

Even when everyone had their doubts about her, Elle never lost confidence in herself. It is definitely one of her most admirable qualities.

5. Don't let people question your self worth

Elle was appalled at the fact that her boyfriend Warner was breaking up with her because he wanted someone more "serious." She didn't let anything he said stop her from accomplishing her goals and living her life.

5. Always be yourself

Even though her law school classmates may have thought she didn't have what it took because of her "Malibu Barbie Stereotype," Elle didn't let that detest her. She continued to be her bubbly, pink self even when people turned against her or didn't accept her.

6. Never be afraid to speak up

When Warner attempted to take her back at the end of the movie, she knew that he was not meant for her, despite all of her best efforts throughout the story. She knew that she deserved better and spoke her mind.

7. Don't let the haters get you down

In this iconic part of the movie, Elle didn't let the mean girls get to her. She wore her bunny costume proudly and didn't let it shake her.

8. Always keep your dreams and ambitions big!

Elle's original plan was to go to Harvard Law to win back her boyfriend Warner, but ends up finding herself and a passion for law. Always dream big, like Elle!

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.

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.

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.
