When College Guys Watch "Mean Girls" For The First Time

"Mean Girls" is one of those irreplaceable movies that everybody knows about. While many girls can quote the entire film from heart, a lot of guys like myself usually don't know what they're talking about. Sure, most know it is why people wear pink on Wednesdays, but that's usually the extent of their knowledge. So with a bit of convincing, I got some guy friends who had never seen "Mean Girls" to watch it (Plus Joe, who is obsessed with the movie). We don't have a group name like The Plastics, but we decided to give it a shot and learn why this movie so special.

1. First Impression: any kid raised by the janitor from Scrubs has no chance of turning out normal.

2. Looking good Lindsay Lohan! Our knowledge of her starts at The Parent Trap and then skips straight to DUI's, jail, and stealing jewelry, so we'd never seen her look so pretty before.

3. We could actually relate to all her new student struggles. Who hasn't had lunch in the bathroom?

4. Hey, Tina Fey is in this movie! (turns out she wrote it) My 30 Rock-obsessed self definitely would've watched it earlier if I had known she was in it. Plus, she gives some genuinely great advice, and my favorite line of the movie.

5. Gretchen Wieners. We giggled more than we should have at that name.

6. Kieran admitted to asking people if they're white all the time.

7. We learned the rules of Girl World, except for the ex-boyfriend/girlfriend thing, that's universal.

8. Kevin Gnapoor was a very underrated character, we all loved him.

9. Our minds were blown when Regina pretended she loved that girl's skirt when she hated it. Girls really do that?

10. Playing dumb to impress a guy, please don't do it. Two member of our group had that happen to them, and it was just so weird. Smart is sexy girls.

11. The yellow school bus, though. Did not see that coming.

12. Unanimously-voted funniest moment:

(second place: everything Karen did).

All in all, could tell why this movie was so important. Besides being legitimately funny, "Mean Girls" had some great lessons in it to go with the endless lines we've heard girls (and Joe) quote through high school and college.

We agreed the whole thing was pretty fetch.

(My editor has informed me that I can't make fetch happen).

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
