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

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!

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.
