The fact that he relied on connections to get in after being wait listed and she got in all on her own too….chefs kiss

[thetherrannative]

Saying "What, like it's hard?" after putting in _incredible_ effort to study and get such a high score on the LSAT not only shows that she is smart, but it shows that she doesn't consider putting in that much effort hard. Giving it 110% is just who she is.

[johntindillier]

The reason I started my PhD program was this movie, and now I'm a philosophy teacher, thank you Legally Blonde 🙂

[kelseyrish]

Her 'what, like it's hard?' Is such an underrated slap in his face at this point because she doesn't even know he was wait-listed and had to get his rich Dad to pull strings, and she was just straight up accepted.

[RegisEduardo.s]

No but "What, like it's hard?" is top 3 lines in all movie history

[CharismaticNymph]

I loved when Elle and Vivian both realize they’re both awesome and drop the boy who isn’t worth it and doesn’t deserve them

[jandoel]

My favorite part about the movie is how underrated Elle is treated despite the fact she only started preparing for law school months prior. Everyone else in her class had probably been preparing since high school to get into an elite law school.

[gh-pses]

Elle's "What, like it's hard?" And Cher's "As if!" Sit at the same lunch table

[Inkedmonkey]

4.0 GPA, 179 LSAT, and leadership positions. “What, like it’s hard?” Is absolutely the correct sentiment from her lol

[AM_]

Nobody else can play Elle’s role except Reese. Only Reese.

[lindabrown]

He did NOT deserve a great girl like Elle!!! She comes across as being bubble headed at times, but she is so smart, caring, warm-hearted, and a really good friend!!! ❤❤❤

The test Elle needed to take to get into Harvard was the LSAT test. She got a 179, the max score you can get is 180. She didn’t get the perfect score, but she did score a 99.4% and she had a 4.0 GPA.

[emilyelyse]

The “you go where?” line was delivered perfectly

[Sunflowers]

What makes this funnier is when Vivian tells Elle that Warner only got in because his dad made some calls, LOL

[angeljohns]

“This is soooo much better than that.” I love the whole scene this line was in.

[daniellasprings]

Growing up is realizing how good Elle Wood’s stats and extracurriculars were especially with an unconventional major

[kristinc]

Beautiful, smart, fun, determined, kind to everyone she meets, supportive of other women
Elle Woods really was such a good role model for young girls when this movie came out

[leliatarasova]

I had “What like it’s hard? - Elle Woods” engraved into my Finnish graduation cap. Genuinely one of my favourite quotes out there. Especially considering it very much was hard-

[pineapplepancakes]

My grandma loved Elle Woods so much. She's been gone 10 years, and these Legally Blonde clips have been in my feed for days. I know my grandma is saying hi to me and reminding me that I'm both beautiful AND smart. <3

[arpbears]

everybody else: “what, like it’s hard?”
