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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
