"It's like I have ESPN or something..."

As an 18 year old girl, my life is full of needless drama; most of it laughable, as well. Therefore, watching someone else’s needless drama is humorous. The movie that is the epitome of high school drama is “Mean Girls.” This film represents the many cliques in high school and all the problems that come along with them. Obviously, I have been through many of these experiences or at least observed them happening, and therefore, it is “funny because it is true.” I went to a high school where I graduated with 350 people; a small amount. News traveled fast, and everyone knew everyone. Then, after high school, I am attending a college with 750 students. It might as well be “Young Harris High School.” “Mean Girls” is still relatable, even while in college, and it remains funny.
One scene in particular that makes me laugh and reminds me of everyone at Young Harris is 4:08 minutes into the YouTube video. The “plastics” are walking down the hall and there are clips of many different people talking about them, including the principal of the school. One girl claims, “I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip flops, so I bought army pants and flip flops.” This represents the obsession to be cool in high school. While in school, being popular seems like the most important thing in the world, when it is miniscule in the scheme of life. Gossip abounds in this clip of the movie, including who is dating whom, and who is the hottest girl in the school.
This film never ceases to make me laugh. Not only is the sarcasm in the movie endless, but the way any high school student or sometimes even a college student can relate to the movie can make any one laugh. “Mean Girls” is definitely one of my favorite movies, and one of my favorite comedies that can make me laugh no matter what.
