5 Reasons To Thank Elle Woods

You've taught me more than just how to "Bend and Snap"

5 Reasons To Thank Elle Woods

I didn't know what to expect. All I saw was a sorority house, a glimpse of a girl brushing her blonde hair, and a whole lot of pink. Where was this movie going?

I definitely did not expect it to take me to Cambridge, Massachusetts into the life of a Fashion-major turned Harvard Law Student, let alone become the place where I found one of my role models: Elle Woods!

You might think that it's crazy that I found a role model in a fictional character but here are a few reasons why I love Elle Woods.

1. She is true to herself.

Throughout the movie, Elle is pressured to change her "girly-girl" identity. Despite the amount of times she has been called "Malibu Barbie" based her on her appearance, Elle does not let that deter her from her own goals of becoming a Harvard Law graduate. She is proud of who she is and would never let go of her dominantly pink wardrobe regardless of the circumstances.

2. She helps others and is always there for her friends, wholeheartedly.

Whether she is giving fashion advice to one of her friends, helping her manicurist through relationship issues, or helping a former Delta Nu sister through legal troubles, Elle supports them 100 percent.

3. Her positive attitude is infectious.

We cannot forget the "Snap Cup" she created for her team in Washington D.C. that completely transformed their dysfunctional dynamic.

4. She encourages us to have faith in ourselves and the people around us.

No dream is ever too big or unattainable as long as you have faith in yourself and those around you.

5. She knows what she wants.

Becoming a law student, a lawyer, an animal rights' activist and maybe even President of the United States (praying for Legally Blonde 3) was definitely because of her defined sense of purpose to bring about change.

These are just a few reasons why I absolutely love Elle Woods (and also why I watch the movie repeatedly). Her spirit is empowering and I hope that she makes everyone feel like the impossible is possible, like she has done for me.

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.
