That peppy overachiever Tracy Flick is running for student body president—big surprise. Although she might seem perfect, Election’s frontrunner has a ruthless dark streak that she keeps coiled up inside (along with quite a few dirty secrets). Remember that even the smallest failure can set her off and if that happens, just DON’T mess with her.
So put on a “Pick Flick!” pin, tape up some posters, and share some barely suppressed rage with Tracy Flick to these 10 songs!

Hello, you. June’s theme will be LONGING. Unlike more-acute forms of desire like desperation or need, longing is a sweet ache—more pining for something than dying for it. It’s nostalgia, homesickness, boredom, a persistent feeling of lack, dreaming of escape/the future. It’s summer: summer homes & cottages, stuffy summer bedrooms, sun-bleached memories of summers past. The shadow of September that hangs over June. It’s secret hangouts, crushes, unrequited love. Send what you’ve got here, and thanks. ♥

When I read the first article today, and I saw the picture of Tracy on the home page, I think I actually gasped. Out loud. Tracy is the best. She is my spirit animal.

Log in to replyHow have I not seen this movie yet?
Log in to replyi watched it for the first time today. it depressed me!
Log in to replyIt’s awesome.
Log in to replyFor the story I felt like I was about to have a panic attack, so I eat (long story, but maybe my brain didn’t have enough carbs or whatever) which made me feel better for a moment, but it came back and I tried to think about something else and turned on my desktop computer to watch feel-good movies relating to why I stressed at the moment (Legally Blonde is one of those :))
But I thought I should check out Rookie’s last articles or reread others, and then I listened to that and it clearly cleared out the things that turned in my head. Thanks.
I used to have an obsession with seeing every movie starring Reese Witherspoon, too.
I love this movie! It’s one of my favorite movies about high school. This playlist fits perfectly!
