On Apr. 30 Mean Girls, the classic cult film that made fetch happen with its ultimate comedic genius, is turning 10 years old. Yes, a decade has passed since we first saw math enthusiast/bad-a** M.C., Kevin G. rip his shirt off at the talent show and declared him a stud. Do you feel old yet? I do.
Ladies and Gents everywhere still praise the movie for being the symbol of their youth. Let’s face it, Mean Girls popularity is teen royalty and if it never came to be then 99% of us wouldn’t possess “boo you whore” or “you go Glen Coco” in our repertoire of good comebacks. The legendary movie’s 10th anniversary deserves as much exposure as the Burn Book got on the day it was scattered along the hallowed halls of North Shore High (minus the girl fights).
So put on your pink shirt, find a guy that looks somewhat like Aaron Samuels, and bow down to those cold, shiny, hard, plastics for Mean Girls 10th Anniversary!. Because it’s just like, the rules of feminism!
And if threatening girl world by going against the rules of feminism isn’t enough of a push to celebrate the anniversary and binge watch Mean Girls, then maybe this list will do the trick.
1. Mean Girls makes us get those warm nostalgic feelings about the pre-party girl days of Lindsay Lohan.
2. The anniversary takes place on a Wednesday, so wear pink.
3. After a decade passing, we can assume Damien finally got his pink shirt back.
4. Fetch will surely happen.
5. You can have a three way calling attack with your friends as you watch the movie.
6. We will all get along like we used to in middle school and bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone will eat it and be happy.
7. Don’t pretend you are sick like Karen did. Regina knows that was a faux cough, so boo you whore.
8. Everytime someone does something that deserves even the littlest amount of applause scream out “You go Glen Coco!”
9. The best monologue of all time is still the one Regina gave about the rise and decline of her middle school friendship with Janis Ian.
10. Eat a Toaster Strudel in honor of Gretchen Wieners’ father, the inventor of Toaster Strudels.
11. Who knows, maybe Regina will show up and punch you in the face AND maybe you’ll think it is awesome.
12. When it comes to quoting Mean Girls, let’s be real, THE LIMIT DOES NOT EXIST!
13. You can write Mrs. Aaron Samuels all over your notebook.
14. Reciting Kevin Gnapor’s rap points out that “all you sucka M.C.’s ain’t got nothin on me.”
15. Since it’s a day of celebration, maybe the plastics will feel generous and not scream at you, “you can’t sit with us!”
16. Janice Ian will give you a wig made out of your mom’s chest hair as a party favor at your Mean Girls celebration.
17. You can have a history lesson on how “Brutus is just as cute as Caesar.”
18. Listening to the Mean Girls soundtrack gives you time to shake and shimmy to “Milkshake” and pretend you are one of the plastics provocatively dancing to “Jingle Bell Rock”.
19. Have a hump day treat of fruity cocktails, but if you plan on putting alcohol in it Regina’s mom would rather you do it in the house.
20. Don’t you dare wear sweatpants though…well, unless that’s the only thing that fits?
21. According to Karen, we should all just go to Taco Bell.
22. Put on your gold hoops in spite of the fact that gold hoops are Regina’s thing.
23. Tank tops with holes at the boobs and army pants and flip-flops will be a required part of your #ootd.
24. We can all get pumped for National Mean Girls Day because on Oct. 3 Aaron Samuels is going to tell us that it is indeed Oct. 3.
25. You can soak up each other’s ”awesomeness.”
26. Lets keep the celebration happy. So please for the sake of Mean Girls, don’t push anyone in front of a bus.
DON’T LET THE HATERS STOP YOU FROM DOIN’ YOUR THANG! CELEBRATE THE 10TH ANNIVERSERY OF MEAN GIRLS THIS APRIL 30!
