The 15th anniversary of "Legally Blonde" was just the other day and wow, what a great movie. It's hard to believe that this iconic, life changing and empowering movie premiered 15 years ago!! So in honor of this significant event, I'd like to highlight 8 reasons we should be taking notes from Elle Woods, even after 15 years.

1. Set your sights on your goal, and be stubborn. Nobody else will think it's possible, but you will.

2. If you believe you can do it, others will soon believe you can too. Confidence shines outward onto others.

3. Helping out another friend or aquaintance may not be necessary, but always greatly appreciated. So, help someone out every once in a while with no benefit for yourself, okay?

4. Your "useless knowlege" actually does come in handy, so know what you love and be darn proud of it!

5. Dealing with a breakup in any way is completely natural, and the best way to do this is eat chocolate and watch soap operas.

6. While you may be this amazing and stylish person who seems to have it all, there will always be those who can't accept you for who you are (and that's okay).

7. Breakups are hard, and a lot of the times they don't make sense. Elle teaches you that in the moment, it's completley irrational but later, it's the best thing that's ever happened to you.

8. Men are not everything. Just because you finally get the boy, doesn't mean you should take him back. You've got new priorities, and that's yourself. Own it.
