If you haven’t seen Clueless, stop what you’re doing, grab some popcorn, and post up on the couch, because this 90’s classic is a must watch. AS IF this is just a movie; it is hands down the most relatable coming-of-age story that you will quote almost as much as Mean Girls. Cher, Dionne and Tai have taught us some very important life lessons to keep us from totally buggin’! Here are just a few.
1. Keep your standards high
Cher doesn’t settle and neither should you.
2. Don’t cash in your v-card until you’re really ready
Again, this goes hand in hand with the keeping your standards high. Stay true to yourself, no matter what everyone else is doing.
3. Be inclusive
At some point in your life, you’ll be the “new kid,” so don’t be afraid to go out of your way to make a new friend.
4. When a boy comes over, make sure it smells like you’ve been baking
Cher unleashed this genius trick in 1995, and we haven’t looked back since.
5. You can inflict change in any aspect of your life
Have a problem with a situation or outcome? Change it.
6. Life is all about balance
Gym, school, parties, sleep… Keep it balanced.
7. Don’t put yourself in a dangerous situation for the sake of a dramatic exit
Be smart, because getting stranded in the Valley is never cute.
8. Calvin Klein will always be relevant
All hail.
9. Fake it until you make it
10. How not to drive
Road safety tip from Cher: do not drive in platforms.
So next time you’re questioning yourself, just think, “What would Cher do?”
