Many USC students can relate to this day. It’s Mean Girls day. If you’re a fan of the movie you’ll find this day so fetch! We asked some Mean Girls fans to tell us their favorite scene. Ana Susman, a freshman at USC was very excited to share her thoughts on how the movie became a nationally recognized day!

Anna Susman: I think it’s pretty cool. It shows how like culturally significant that movie was for a lot of people. Yeah, I think it’s fun. I think it’s pretty relatable for a lot of people, so people will enjoy it. We’ve all been to high school and seen like cliques and mean girls.

Mean Girls went on to become a modern classic film to watch during the Halloween season. An iconic scene shows how characters dressed up for the Halloween party at Regina George’s house. Hannah Wolf, a junior at USC went on to compare it to another well known combination Halloween-Christmas movie.

Hannah Wolf: It’s like nightmare before Christmas. Like both Like you could watch them both during, like, Halloween and Christmas. Like both two iconic scenes in the movie. I feel like they could be both.

The film continues to be popular among people who grew up watching it. Many people remember the hilarious one-liners and recognizable quotes. Not only can you see it on various streaming services but Paramount uploaded the complete movie in 23 video clips on TikTok.
