Why Elle Woods Is A Great Role Model

Ah yes. Elle Woods. She's more than just a sorority girl that loves pink with great hair care and awesome cuticles. She's someone that a lot of girls can actually look up to believe it or not. If you've seen "Legally Blonde" and "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde" as many times as I have, you'll know exactly why Elle Woods is one of the best TV role models, and if not, well you're about to find out.


She stands up for what she believes in

Elle woods is not one to be shot down easily. She doesn't just blindly follow people and their ideas, but comes up with her own and doesn't give up on what she wants. For example, no matter how many times Bruiser's Bill (The bill against testing on animals) was shot down, she continued to stand up for what she believed in and those without a voice to make a difference.


She's trustworthy

It doesn't matter what other people say, Elle forms her own opinion about someone and helps them in anyway she can. In the first movie, even though she knew Brooke Wyndham's alibi to the murder trial, she is sworn to secrecy. Even without telling everyone what Brooke's alibi was, she was able to win the case. She never betrays anyone in order to get ahead in life.

She doesn't let anyone put her down

While a snide remark from someone may get her down for a second, Elle is able to bounce back to her peppy self and come out even stronger.

She uses her strength

Elle has many strengths and she's uses all of them to her ability. Her expert knowledge on hair care? Solved a murder case. Her ability to connect with her sorority sisters? Brings several to the Million Dog March to help pass Bruisers bill. Even if her strengths are different than most people, she uses them all to the best of her ability.

She's a good friend

She's always there for her friends no matter what the circumstances are. She helps Brooke Wyndham in her time of need during the murder trial. She's there for Paulette when she needs a confidence booster to get the UPS man. She values and respects all people in her life and always tries her best to put them first.

She's always positive

She never let's someones bad attitude take down her positive one. She always tries to make things better and is able to do that with her attitude always being so positive.

She aspired to be better

She always knows that she can do better things in her life. She attends Harvard at first to get Warner back, but then realizes that she can better herself while she's there. She's always looking for bigger and better things to not only help her, but her friends too.

She's always kind

Even to people that aren't kind to her, she always is. Elle's ability to be kind to everyone is something we all should look up to.

She has so much self confidence

She knows she is good enough and won't let anyone tell her differently. When she first gets to Harvard, almost everyone tells her she's not going to make it, but she proves them wrong. When she gets to D.C., she is again told by everyone she isn't going to make it. With the confidence she has, she is always coming out on top.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
