15 Life Lessons We Learned From ‘Clueless’

Clueless wasn’t just a ’90s movie, it was the defining ’90s chick flick. Our life goddess, Cher Horowitz, taught us everything we need to know about relationships, negotiating grades and how to spot a “full-on Monet,” and for that, we thank her. These valuable words of wisdom will help you navigate through college and beyond, keeping you from totally buggin’. 

1. A true friend is someone whom you can relate to.

2. You can never go wrong with plaid.


3. You should never settle.

4. Because there’s nothing wrong with being selective. 

5. Partying is fun, but like most things, it should be done in moderation.


6. Seduction is the highest of art forms.

7. Driving on the freeway is hard and should be avoided at all costs.

8. The truth hurts, especially when used as an insult.

9. Sometimes, staying home can be more fun than going out. 


10. Don’t date a guy who dresses better than you do.

11. If you embarrass yourself in public, the best course of action is to brush it off and assume that nobody saw anything.

12. A little shopping spree is always good therapy…


13. …but doing things for other people feels even better.


14. In times of emotional turmoil, self-reflection is important.

15. Because sometimes, what we’re looking for is right in front of us.
