When it comes to spectacular movies, "Easy A" is definitely on the list. A fresh take on a classic story, "Easy A" provides a 21st century perspective on The Scarlet Letter. It's witty sense of humor and relatable characters is a clear reason why it is one of my favorite movies, and even after watching it 50 times, Olive Penderghast still remains the most relatable character of them all. Here's 13 reasons why Olive Penderghast is my spirit animal:
1. We both love bursting into random song.
Because it's socially acceptable to want your life to be like Glee.
2. Hugs? That's a no from me...
Five seconds is the absolute max time for bodily contact.
Although this song was probably written by a kindergartner, I can't help but sing along by the third chorus.
4. Our tempers can be triggered at any moment.
Do not try me, or you will face my wrath.
5. We LOVE food. End of story.
I'm patiently waiting for the day I can marry it.
6. Corny jokes? Yes, please.
Like a fish needs water, I NEED them to survive.
7. Our love for 80's movies is unmatched.
I could use John Hughes' help now because I never grew out of my awkward phase.
8. We have killer clapbacks.
Take this as your first and last warning.
9. No, seriously, we're pretty savage.
It's a gift God blessed me with.
10. Crying in front of people is forbidden.
Unless, your dog dies. Then, it's acceptable.
11. We're basically Beyoncé.
My shower head agrees that I have the best vocals around.
12. And boys are a foreign concept to us.
What is this thing you call a boy?
13. A SUPER foreign concept.
The last time I went on a date, I was an egg in my mother's uterus.
With every stumble in high
heels, quick wit remark and quirk, I feel like I’m watching myself on the
screen whenever I play "Easy A." Olive Penderghast perfectly captures my feelings
even on my best and worst days, and that’s why I love her.
