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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
