10 Reasons I Aspire to Be Like Elle Woods

Watching "Legally Blonde," we all came to love and admire Elle Woods for her determination and absolute fierceness that her whole life embodied. We saw her transform form a sorority girl to an amazing lawyer and did it all without a man by her side. We rooted for her, and I bet at some point you knew you wanted to be her (and probably still do.) Here are 10 reasons I aspire to be just like Elle Woods.

1. She is loyal to literally everyone.

In the movie, Elle's loyalty is one of her greatest characteristics she has.You never saw her break her promise or stab anyone in the back. She was loyal through everything. She is loyal to her man, her friends, her sorority, and her client, Brooke Wyndham. When Callahan really needed Brooke's alibi, she did not give it because it would break the trust between Elle and Brooke, and that ended up helping Elle become a great lawyer.

2. Her style is SUPER FAB.

Elle Woods is the queen of style, and she always dressed to impress. Even though this movie was made in the early 2000s, I would honestly still wear every outfit she rocked.

3. Her confidence is through the roof.

Elle's confidence oozed out of her. She knew she could make it into Harvard, and she did.

4. She never took less than what she deserved.

Yes, she followed Warner to law school. Yes, she tried to win him back, but she realized how awful he treated her and kicked him to the curb. You go, girl!

5. She fought to be a lawyer, and a good one at that.

While everyone was telling her she wasn't good enough or had what it takes to be a lawyer, she never believed them. She worked and worked to be successful and that is something that everyone should strive to do.

6. She stopped being the stereotypical lawyer and just went back to being her true self.

We watched Elle grow at her time at Harvard. Being the odd-girl-out, Elle had this pressure to fit in with her peers and also the one who stole Warner from her, but she soon realized that being herself is something to be proud of.

7. Her friendship with Paulette is the perfect model of true friendship.

Elle and Paulette are #friendshipgoals. They perfectly balance each other out. When one needed the other, they were always there. I mean, Elle taught Paulette how to win her man. That sounds like an awesome friend to me.

8. She is a feminist icon.

Throughout the whole movie, Elle is breaking gender norms. First, she was a woman going to be a lawyer. Second, she was a blonde woman going to be a lawyer. She crushed the gender stereotypes one step (in cute shoes) at a time. Elle proved that women can do anything if they set their mind to it.

9. She always had a positive attitude.

Elle was never negative about anything. She was always the one to encourage. She was positive that Brooke was innocent and that they would win the case without an alibi. She was positive when she was the only one wearing a costume to Vivian's party. You never saw her complain or get down on herself.

10. She ended up with the man of her dreams, but never relied on him to reach her goals.

AHHHH. Elle and Emmett are the cutest couple to ever live. Emmett accepted Elle for who she was and Elle did the same for Emmett. Also, Emmett never once doubted Elle's abilities. #Goals

Yes, I know this is from the second movie, but look how adorable!


Bow down to Queen Elle.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
