Why is Mean Girls Day celebrated on October 3?
The fan-created Mean Girls Day is celebrated annually on October 3.
The concept emerged from a scene between character Cady Herron and Aaron Samuels in math class.
During the scene, Cady is seen practically drooling over her crush Aaron before he turned around to ask her: “What day is it?”
Startled but excited at the chance to talk to the it-boy at school, Cady answers: “October 3.”
Each year when this specific day comes around, fans take to social media to share clips, memes and reflect on the iconic Mean Girls moment and celebrate the popular high school movie.
When was Mean Girls released?
Directed by Mark Waters, Mean Girls was released on April 30, 2004.
Written by Tina Fey, the screenplay is based on Rosalind Wiseman’s non-fiction self-help book Queen Bees and Wannabes; which features the topic of high school cliques.
Starring Lindsay Lohan in the abovementioned role, the film saw her character move to the United States after a rural upbringing in Africa with zoologist parents.
Attending an American school is not what Cady expects but she quickly finds herself in an A-list girl clique, The Plastics.
Trouble starts to brew when she makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels.
Aaron is the ex-boyfriend of “Queen Bee” Regina, played by Rachel McAdams.
On October 3, 2023, Paramount Pictures posted the entire movie in 23 clips to their TikTok page.
Mean Girls is also available to stream via Paramount+, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime Video.
