Why We All Used to Want to be Massie Block

She was the Blair Waldorf for middle schoolers.

Why We All Used to Want to be Massie Block

Massie Block was the original Queen B before we knew who Blair Waldorf was. She was the ah-mazing leader of the Pretty Committee who lived in Westchester, NY and was the alpha leader of the seventh grade. Maybe you loved Massie, maybe you hated Massie, but all in all, we wanted to be Massie.

Her Ah-mazing Bedroom.

Massie had an all white room with a single green apple, until she decided that purple was the color of royalty and therefore her room needed a makeover. Her closet was drool-worthy, and her room was serious interior design goals.

She had a monthly subscription for lip gloss.

"Glossip Girl," Massie's monthly lip gloss subscription was one of the coolest things I had ever read about as a tween. While some flavors (looking at you, "Kosher Dill"), were less than appealing, "Blueberry Muffin" and "Vanilla Espresso Bean" had me Googling where I could get my own subscription.

Her black pug, Bean.

Bean was the ultimate sidekick. He was there for her daily rent sessions, and was the best listener. I can fully admit that Bean is what inspired me to ask for a black pug for several Christmases.

She was the leader of the Pretty Committee.

Who didn't want their own PC? Massie and her best friends were #bffgoals for middle school girls everywhere. No one had better clothes, social life, or bond than those 5 (including Claire).

She always came up with clever insults.

Massie's famous "question" insults flowed throughout the book, and undoubtedly were quite witty. No matter the situation, she was fully equipped to dumbfound her opponent and leave them speechless. (Ex: Did I invite you to my bbq?....Then why are you all up in my grill) Obviously, a genius.

Her clothes.

Do you know any other seventh grader with a closet flowing with Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, or Prada? Probably not. She owns more designer clothing than the average college student, causing us to all feel major closet envy.

She was very determined.

Let's face it, what Massie wanted, Massie got. She never stopped until she achieved exactly what she was looking for, and that is definitely something to appreciate.

Her creativity was off the charts.

Remember in "Bratfest at Tiffany's" when Massie and other students at OCD were forced to take classes in trailers because of the boys? Obviously a very tragic moment for these girls, but what did she do? She turned those trailers into giant Tiffany boxes, turning a bad situation, into a great one.

Her confidence with boys.

Maybe this one sounds a little ridiculous, but a 12-year-old girl had more confidence around boys than the majority of girls you'll meet in college. If she wanted a boy's attention, she devised a completely ridiculous but effective plan to get it. Her list of boy-toys including Derrington, Landon Crane, and Dempsey Solomon.

She had her own horse.

Basically, what didn't Massie have? Naturally she had her own horse which she road almost everyday. This particular riding club allowed her to obtain all sorts of connections, and meet all sorts of boys. And let's face it, who didn't want a horse at one point of their childhood?

Her confidence was overflowing.

Young girls, especially around Massie's age, are constantly questioning their confidence and feeling insecure. At a time when they're finally wanting to date boys, going through puberty, and starting to become slightly more mature, being confident can be tricky. However, Massie believed in herself at all times, and never let the worst of things get to her.

Maybe Massie Block was a little much at times, but she was the Blair Waldorf for middle schoolers, and deep down, we all wanted to be just like her.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
