10 Thoughts I Had Watching 'Meet Me In St. Louis For The First Time'

Who else here hates John?

Judy Garland

In This Article:

As a huge Judy Garland fan, I have been trying to watch all of her movies, and recently I crossed "Meet Me In St. Louis" off that list. Here are 10 thoughts I had throughout the film!

1. This "Meet Me In St. Louis" song will never not be in my head again, will it?

By the time we are 10 minutes in, three characters have already sang this song, and I know most of the words.

2. Judy Garland really is gorgeous

And no, I'm not just partial to gingers. She is one of the prettiest actresses in history but lived her entire life trying to change herself to please movie producers. This is the first picture where she is not wearing her studio issued dental caps and "nose disks."

3. This party looks awesome

Everyone is having a good time, everyone is dressed all fancy... Looks like a good time to me!

4. How old is Margaret O'Brien in this? 

Keep in mind, Judy is 4'11, which makes Margaret TINY. I actually ended up Googling this while I was watching, and she was 6 going on 7. Seriously, the amount of talent in such a little baby is incredible!

5. I wish people actually sang like this on the subway when someone was feeling lovey-dovey

10/10 would improve any and all commutes.

6. Are Tootie's dolls okay?

What are these 4 fatal diseases? How did this happen? Why is this man so calm about this?

7. Tootie! No! What is this terrible flour thing? What happened to trick-or-treating?

Who are these kids, starting fires, burning furniture, and throwing flour in strangers' faces?

8. I love the grandfather

He is so kind to his granddaughters and almost makes up for their virtually absent dad.

9. OMG, I hate John 

"College takes too long," "I can just get a job"... if only that were plausible today.

10. Damn, they have a lot of kids

During the 2 a.m. family meeting, we finally see all of the kids in one room (plus Grandpa being his awesome self in the back).

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.

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.
