Is it ever going to get old? Are we ever going to grow out of it? Not a million years, Felicia. It’s October 3rd and it landed on a Wednesday, which means everyone on the face of the earth, including the pope, is probably wearing pink. It’s alignment if you ask me. What are the odds? In honor of the best unofficial holiday that lands every October 3rd, here’s a list of reasons as to 1) why we’ll never grow out of means girls and 2) how to celebrate Mean Girls Day. Thank you, Tina Fey.
1. Get In Loser We’re Going Shopping
First of all, second of all, and third of all Regina George is wrong. You’re not a loser and you don’t ever need to get in a car to go shopping with someone who thinks you’re one. But, in the game of wordplay, you should definitely get in your car, with your friends or work wife, go shopping and “lose” all your money for all the Fenty Beauty in the world. October 3rd is a great reason to go on a shopping spree.
2. Whatever, I’m Getting Cheese Fries
October 3rd is a great reason to eat cheese fries. Make that truffle cheese fries because we’re hashtag adulting now. “Del Taco has the best fries in the entire world. Don’t at me, bro,” are Tita’s favorites. “Crinkly fries are going to be the death of me, but not before they send me to chuuuuuurch when I add truffle cheese to them.” I personally like McDonald’s fries and Mario likes In-N-Outs. But, “Whatever. I’m getting [any kind] cheese fries.”
3. Put It In The Book
October 3rd is a great reason to be check-in on yourself emotionally. If you’re feeling like a failure, let it out! If you tired of people not appreciating the things you do, let it out! Put it in the book. During your shopping spree, buy yourself a journal and some crafts. Decorate your journal and every time you’re feeling upset just jot it down. We tout the horn of journaling with gratitude, but sometimes purging all the negativity is the best thing to do to start on a clean slate.
4. On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink
October 3rd is a great reason to tap into your feminine energy. It’s Wednesday, October 3rd. What even? This is a sign to wear pink today as you’ve never worn it before. You might want to wear pink while you go shopping or while watching “Mean Girls”, duh.
5. I’m Sorry I Laughed When You Got Diarrhea
October 3rd is a great reason to embark on your redemption journey. Apologize for something you know you were wrong for. You already know you should apologize. Why is it so hard for you? Ego is never something you should hold on to. It’s bad for the soul. Apologizing for something you did or said helps rid the knot in your stomach and helps recenter yourself.
6. The Limit Does Not Exist
October 3rd is a great reminder that the limits we set are set only because we place them there. How far do you want to go in life? Plan that business for once, girl, because Cady Heron is right, “the limit does not exist.” The limit exists only in your mind. Sit down with your favorite bottle of wine and start creating your dream business.
7. I’m Kind Of Psychic. I Have A Fifth Sense.
October 3rd is a great reason to explore spirituality. This is simple. Go see a psychic. Or, buy tarot cards and give yourself and friends fun readings on love, career, and life. This deck is one of my favorites. Or, you can take on meditation if it’s something you’ve been thinking about doing.
8. I Wish I Could Bake A Cake Made Out of Rainbows And Smiles
October 3rd is a great reason to binge on cake and champagne! To end Mean Girls Day on a high note, bake a cake and eat it, too. Freed’s Bakery on South Eastern Ave is a good place to start if you can’t bake at all (like me). Tell them to make it all pink and to add your favorite “Mean Girls” quote.
Question: should we host a “Mean Girls” luncheon next year? Who should we host it with? Leave suggestions in the comments below, with the number(s) on this list you’ll be trying out to celebrate today with!
