#114: So Fetch
October 3rd marks the much-beloved (if informal) holiday known as “Mean Girls Day”, based on a throwaway line from the cult film. While it’s remembered for its iconic jokes, Mean Girls isn’t just a great comedy — it also includes sharp social commentary on the intricacies of adolescent relationships. This week, we celebrate its hilarity and insights alike with five Mean Girls-themed prompts (which are pretty fetch, if we do say so ourselves).
