We all grew up watching Olsen twin movies, and they were an integral part of our upbringing. But the lessons we can learn from them are definitely still relevant to our lives as collegiettes—these flicks are still so relatable.
1. New York Minute
Okay, so maybe we don't get mixed up in sketchy black market deals every day, and maybe Simple Plan isn't exactly the hottest band out there, but we can totally still relate to sisters Jane and Roxy. Jane's determination to win that Oxford scholarship? Sounds a lot like our internship search. And fangirling over our favorite band like Roxy? Yep, been there.
2. Switching Goals
College is all about finding yourself—which is exactly what Sam and Emma try to do in this movie, learning from each other's differences (simply put, Sam likes soccer and Emma likes fashion). Aaaww!
3. Holiday in the Sun
Sun, tropical beaches and summer romance? This movie is still everything we want out of a resort vacation—well, except the whole smuggling of stolen goods ordeal.
4. Our Lips Are Sealed
This Olsen twins classic has it all—the struggle of sharing a living space with someone (we love you, roomie, if you're reading this), the desire to fit in, and copious amounts of sass. Plus, the fashion is SO. On. Point. And while our college town isn't exactly Sydney, Australia, there are still some pretty great parties on campus (if not on a private yacht).
5. The Challenge
Shane and Elizabeth working through their disagreements is like the dramatized version of every group project we've ever had to do. And falling for the wrong guy at the wrong time? Ugh, way too close to home.
6. When In Rome
This movie is how you secretly imagined your study abroad program would turn out. Sadly, you didn't end up meeting the love of your life, but you did use all the local expressions you knew and carry a camera around everywhere you went, so there's that.
7. Winning London
This is for all you MUN girls out there. You'll also love it if you like cute boys. And being a tacky tourist. And British accents. Actually, scratch that, it is absolutely necessary that you watch this movie, like, right now if you are a person who likes movies. That is all.
Which is your favorite Mary-Kate and Ashley movie, collegiettes?
