And just like that, October 3rd rolls around, marking the unofficial holiday known as ‘Mean Girls Day.’ It's the perfect excuse to rewatch the film and relive the most quotable moments!

So, why is October 3rd dubbed 'Mean Girls Day’? According to the movie, it’s the day when Cady (played by Lindsay Lohan) gets all fluttery after Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett) turns around and asks her what day it is. That simple yet heart-stopping moment has led fans to celebrate the date as a genuine tribute to the film. In fact, it’s impossible to scroll through your social media feeds on this day without being bombarded with ‘On Wednesdays, we wear pink’ posts, and you better believe we’re not leaving the house without our best pink outfit!

*Mean Girls Day* isn’t just for nostalgic movie buffs; it’s also a chance to reflect on the lessons packed within the movie’s plot. Loosely based on Rosalind Wiseman’s nonfiction book *Queen Bees and Wannabes*, it digs into the nuances of friendship and the impact of conforming to peer pressure. Whether it’s Regina's notorious reign or Cady’s transformation from humble to royalty, the film speaks to anyone who’s stood on the sidelines of teenage drama, reminding us that sometimes, it’s okay to be less than perfect.

As we gear up to celebrate, let’s also take a moment to appreciate just how far the cast has come. Fast-forward to 2024, and we’re eager for a reunion— who wouldn’t love to see how the iconic characters have aged (like fine wine, one hopes) since their high school days? And fun fact: *Mean Girls* is returning to theaters for its 20th anniversary, which means more opportunities for fans to revisit this beloved classic on the big screen. Plus, did you know that Regina George’s infamous ‘Burn Book’ was inspired by real-life high school gossip journals? Talk about life imitating art! So grab your friends, wear pink, and get ready to shout, 'You can’t sit with us!' on October 3rd!
