21 Quotes That Make 'Legally Blonde' Iconically Relevant Still 10+ Years Later

Elle freaking Woods. What an icon. Who would have ever thought this 2001 movie called, "Legally Blonde" starring Reese Witherspoon would have become such a cult classic? The world has been graced with it— don't ever forget it, people. This cute film displayed unexpected commentary on sexism and discrimination filtered through "pretty white girl lens" which doesn't happen too often nowadays.

Elle Woods is a true icon. How many people can come up with genius theories that masturbatory emissions where sperm is clearly not seeking an egg could be termed reckless abandonment? No one. Simply, no one.

Here's 21 quotes that prove that "Legally Blonde" is still super iconically relevant so many years later:

1. "Hi, I'm Elle Woods, and this is Bruiser Woods!"

2. "I don't need backup schools. I'm going to Harvard."

3. "Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands, they just don’t"

4. "So you're breaking up with me because I'm too... Blonde?"

5. "What, like, it's hard?"

6. "If I'm gonna be a partner in a law firm by the time I'm 30, I need a boyfriend who's not such a complete bonehead."

7. "Men are big fat retards."

8. "Oh, I like your outfit too, except when I dress up as a frigid bitch, I try not to look so constipated."

9. "I once had to judge a tighty-whitey contest for Lambda Kappa Pi. Trust me, I can handle anything."

10. "And it’s scented! I think it gives it a little something extra, don’t you think?"

11. "And last week I saw Cameron Diaz at Fred Segal, and I talked her out of buying this truly heinous angora sweater. Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed."

12. "I saw it in Teen Vogue a year ago. So if you're trying to sell it to me for full price, you picked the wrong girl."

13. "I'd pick the dangerous one because I'm not afraid of a challenge."

14. "I feel comfortable using legal jargon in my everyday life." 

15. "The Bible."

16. "Oh, look, how cute! There's, like, a judge and everything."

17. "If you're going to let one stupid prick ruin your life, you're not the girl I thought you were."

18. "I'll show you how valuable Elle Woods can be."

19. "The rules of haircare are simple and finite. Any Cosmo girl would have known."

20. "Just bend... And snap."

21. "On our very first day at Harvard,  a very wise professor quoted Aristotle. 'The law is reason free from passion.' Well, no offense to Aristotle, but in my three years at Harvard, I have found that passion is a key ingredient to the study and practice of law and of the life. It is passion, courage of strong sense of self, that we take our next steps into the world,  remembering that first impressions are not always correct. You must always have faith in  people and importantly, you must always have faith in yourself.”

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
