Picture it: 1997. It was the year of girl-power dominance in pop culture: the Spice Girls, Fiona Apple and Quinn Morgendorffer. Sure, we know the question on your mind: What about Daria?
While many of us identified with Daria’s timeless (and amazingly acerbic) observations on adolescence, her little sis also provided a generation of girls the absolute truth when it came to boys, clothes, frenemies and, well, being popular.
Flash forward to 2014: We imagine Quinn in an episode of “Girl Code,” dishing on the ups and downs of sisterhood. Here’s what she’d have to say:
1. When it comes to finding “The One,” maintain high standards.
2. Seriously, never settle for second best.
3. Because the dating scene can be a complex (and sick, sad) world.
4. Always strive to be a helpful, honest person who sees the good in everyone.
5. Inner beauty > Outer beauty. Oh, and power yoga rocks.
6. Love yourself, no matter your size.
7. Be proud of your natural talents.
8. Fashion trends are meant to be deep.
9. Hardships will come your way, but giving up is never the answer.
10. A positive attitude is the key to success.
11. And, most importantly, treat others the way you want to be treated. It’s, like, part of karma, right?
+ What do you think of Quinn’s pearls of wisdom? Let us know in the comments, and be sure to catch a new episode of “Girl Code” tonight at 11/10c.
