What Elle Woods Taught Us About Breakups

Elle Woods the main character in "Legally Blonde" falls in love with a boy in college named Warner. Warner ends up dumping her because he gets into Harvard Law School. He convinces Elle that she is "no longer good" enough for him because of this. Elle is determined to get him back, so she applies to Harvard Law School, gets accepted and follows him there. While there she realizes Warner is not worth her time or emotions.

Elle invests her time in her schoolwork and really decides to hit the books, ends up becoming a very successful lawyer and even meets her fiancé along the way.

I think that she is someone every single teenage girl should look up to. So, here are 15 things Elle Woods has taught us about breakups:

1. Sometimes him dumping you is his problem, not yours. You are good enough for any guy. In fact, any guy that tells you you aren't, is not worthy of your time or emotion.


2. A breakup is a great reason to start dressing cuter. You are single now and can flirt with any guy you want to. Plus, looking cute every day will cause your confidence to soar.

3. You should always set your standards high.


4. It is OK to correct people when they are wrong-- including boys. If he blames you for something you did not do, nicely correct him. However, if he breaks up with you and blames you for something you did not do, just leave him. He should always believe you and trust you.

5. Breakup food is the best food. It is a great excuse to stay in on a Friday night and cuddle up with a box of chocolates and some of your favorite type of ice cream.


6. You are enough on your own. Always believe in yourself!


7. Don't let your ex-boyfriend stop you from living your life. You are amazing and can do anything you put your mind to.


8. If you see a cute boy, take the time to get to know him before you jump right into a relationship. He could seem perfect at first but end up being terrible.


9. Recognize when he is wrong and never let his insults define you. He should never even insult you in the first place.

10. If he breaks up with you for a dumb reason then he is not worth the tears.

11. Always set your standards high.

12. Elle always lets her confidence shine despite the boys that bring her down, and we should all do the same.

13. You should never have to prove to someone that you are good enough for them. They should recognize that every single day.


14. Always look super great when you go out on a Friday night, even if you see you ex at the party. Don't let him stop you from having a good time. There are only so many parties you can attend as a teenager before you fully become an adult.

15. Most importantly, you can do anything you put your mind to even if he is no longer in your life.

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.
