Happy Mean Girls Day! How will you celebrate?

Yup, today is the official MEAN GIRLS DAY! [click here to skip to Mean Girls Monologues] Why is October 3 Mean Girls Day, you ask? I’ll be not-mean and answer that! The date is taken from the movie, Mean Girls, in a moment when Cady Heron is narrating her journey with her crush, Aaron Samuels. In the scene, Aaron turns around in class to talk to her. Cady’s voiceover says, “On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was.” Real time Cady says to Aaron from her seat, “It’s October 3.”

Well, mean girls and ladies, just like “On Wednesdays, we wear pink,” this Mean Girls phrase easily found its way off screen into every day life (and memes!). So how will you celebrate today? Will you wear pink? Watch the movie? Try out the Jingle Bell Rock dance with friends? Have a early aughts themed party? Volunteer somewhere with a heart of gold?

You can also have fun with these Mean Girls Monologues! They’re not from the movie, but they embody that Mean Girls spirit. You know what I’m talking about. Where you act like you’re gracious and happy and generous and oh-so-thoughtful, but underneath it, you’re building yourself up/tearing someone else down; you’re ready to hurt someone if you need to, but you’ll look dang good doing it. They’re fun acting challenges because you get to act nice while being mean.

However you celebrate, Happy Mean Girls Day!

(And I know, underneath all that pink, celebrating the movie and this day is actually a reminder to be compassionate, kind, and understand, Hey, no one’s perfect and everyone goes through stuff.)

Okay, here are some Mean Girl Monologues!

A Really Good Reason:
Here, our alpha-mean-girl has to let go of a friendship, for a very alpha-mean-girl type reason.

She’s So Ugly:

Haircuts for Hannah is a 30-second adapted version of She’s So Ugly.

Not Just Derivatives and Functions or Whatever:

Carol likes to act like a saint, but she has no problem being downright cruel to her younger sister.

Those Jimmy Choo Shoes:

Amanda’s Monologue from, What Happened at the Mud Puddle:
From the perspective of someone who wants the Mean Girl to like her:
Amanda is new to middle school and it doesn’t take long for mean-girl Taylor to humiliate her in front of the whole cafeteria. So why does Amanda still want to go to Taylor’s party?

Chloe’s Monologue from What Happened at the Mud Puddle:
Chloe has given Taylor prime Mean Girl Status. But when the two girls finally confront what happened to their friendship, Chloe realizes…maybe she has a little Mean Girl in her too.
