If there was any show we looked forward to the most during our childhood, it was undoubtedly Lizzie McGuire. Even though Lizzie dealt with mean girls, bra problems and intense crushes just like the rest of us, you’d be pretty hard pressed to find a girl out there who didn’t want to be her at one point in her adolescent years. Despite the fact that Lizzie was only in middle school, she seemed to have enough wisdom and experience to provide us with plenty of life advice that has lasted through our college years. These are a few times she has related to us when no one else could.
1. When your closet is overflowing, but you seem to find an excuse for why you can’t wear a single thing in it.
Too small. Too big. Already wore it too many times. Don’t feel like it. Nope. Nah. Nuh-uh!
2. When your parents ask you question after question about who you’re dating and what you’re doing after graduation, and you avoid them all.
Unfortunately, telling them to “take a chill pill” would probably not go over well at all. Ugh.
3. When you come up with reasons to procrastinate studying.
We feel you, Lizzie.
4. When someone in your group for a class project wants to call all of the shots, but you’re convinced you should take the lead.
“Be the change you wish to see in your group project.” Isn’t that how that quote goes?
5. When your friend won’t stop talking about all of the salads she’s been eating.
Yeah, call me when you’re tired of it and want to hit up Chick-fil-A.
6. When your roommate stops you from having another drink because she doesn’t want to have to take care of you later in the night.
LET ME LIVE.
7. When you text that jerk fratboy back even though you know you shouldn’t go down that road again.
Did Ethan Craft grow up to become one of those jerk fratboys? Seems likely.
8. When you realize you need a cute bra that’s sexier than the one you still have from the girl’s section of Target.
*Tries on bras at Victoria’s Secret* *Remembers that Target bras are way cheaper*
9. When Lizzie taught you what it means to be a ride-or-die friend.
We can credit her and Miranda’s friendship as the prime example for our BFF goals.
10. When one of your friends calls you out on wearing the same outfit twice in one week.
She was the ONLY person who saw you wearing it, you SWEAR.
11. When, despite the fact that you are a collegiette, you still dream about your missed opportunity to go to Rome in eighth grade and become an international superstar.
Can this still happen to me?
Thanks for always getting us, Lizzie.
