12 Times Skeeter From 'The Help' Was Every 20-Something's Spirit Animal

In This Article:

Without a doubt, Skeeter Phelan is one of the most relatable characters in literature (and on the big screen). She's witty, sassy, bold, and funny. Not to mention, her movie incarnation is brought to life by none other than Emma Stone. Her family is a little bit annoying, but very loving. Her boyfriend is a hard headed idiot, but she loves him. And her reactions to various situations probably make her your spirit animal.

1. Every time her mother reminded her that she's still single

Giphy

I think everyone on the planet has either been here or will be one day.

2. When she had to double check what people were talking about

Giphy

Honestly, this is me every single day.

3. Every time she hits someone with an eye roll

Giphy

We all aspire to this level of sass.

4. When she was shocked by her good hair day

Giphy

If this isn't me, I don't know what is.

5. When everything was just too much for her to handle

Giphy

We all have those moments of pure mental breakdown.

6. When she was so surprised by the people around her

Giphy

Whether it was a good moment or a bad moment, we've all had it!

7. When she was stubborn as heck

Giphy

She wasn't backing down for anything, especially on things that were important to her.

8. When she was feeling particularly satisfied with herself

Giphy

Look at her little smirk and sassy sunglasses! She was totally happy with whatever she had been up to!

9. When she was just a little confused (again)

Giphy

If you say that this isn't your reaction when your mom asks you if you've had enough water/sleep during the semester, you're probably lying.

10. When she was just done with everyone

Giphy

Seconding that full body sigh, Skeeter!

11. And finally, when she wasn't afraid to tell it like it is

Giphy

You go, girl!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
