17 Times that Prove "She's the Man" is Still the Best Movie

2006 gave us a lot of memorable moments in pop culture. We were introduced to "High School Musical" and "Hannah Montana," and all you wanted was the pink Motorola RAZR. But one of the best things 2006 gave us was the movie "She’s the Man." When her school cuts her soccer team, Amanda Bynes’ character, Viola, dresses up as her twin brother Sebastian to join the soccer team at his school, Illyria. Viola falls in love with the team captain and her roommate, Duke, who’s in love with Olivia, who’s in love with Sebastian, who’s actually Viola. Love triangles, comedy, Channing Tatum, soccer – this movie has everything.

The modern day telling of Shakespeare’s "Twelfth Night" and one of the most quotable movies is turning ten, and here are 15 times that prove it’s still the greatest movie of our generation.

1. When Viola-as-Sebastian dumped Monique

You're flat out lying if you say you didn't overuse this line with your friends.


2. When Viola and Monique just couldn't get along.

Again, I used this quote more times than I can count.


3. When Viola gave herself a pep talk.

Confidence is key.


4. When it taught us another use for tampons.

"Beckham does it all the time."


5. When Duke answered his phone.

Nothing says 2006 like dramatically opening a flip phone.


6. When Monique had the highest standards for herself.

"Ew, what are you hitting on me?"


7. When Paul couldn't find the right words.

We've all been there.


8. Literally every time Eunice was on screen

"She's got a little something-something." "Yeah, asthma and headgear."


9. When Duke learned how to flirt.

"My favorite's gouda."


10. When Viola tried to be a debutante.

"Chew like you have a secret."


11. When Viola perfectly summed up dorm life.

"Freshmen dorm's that way, twiglet."


12. When Viola dumped her sexist boyfriend.

Viola really had the best comebacks.


13. When Viola almost forgot to fake this pain.

It's a miracle she made it the whole movie without her secret being exposed.


14. When real Sebastian gave this advice.

Inspiring? Yes. Good advice? Probably not..


15. When Malcolm summed up unrequited love.

He handled the whole 'girl he's in love with is crushing on the new kid, who's actually a girl' situation well.


16. Channing Tatum.

Amazing.


17. When Viola was all of us giving advice.

Honestly, this script is gold.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
