26 Nostalgic '10 Things I Hate About You' Memes That Highlight the Type of Confidence We Needed as Girls

Perhaps Kat Stratford is the original angsty teen feminist we all know and love, and still take inspiration from today. She was so ahead of her years that we all wish we could have been as independent and confident at her age. I know I do! As far as 90s nostalgia goes, '10 Things I Hate About You' is the ultimate love letter to a time that gave us a special kind of teen rom-com. Filled with witty one-liners and deep questions about universal themes like love and growing up, this unconventional tale shows outcasts not only fully embracing their diversity, but thriving because of it.

While the film is full of nuance, it also has its lighthearted moments growing up with sisters. Polar opposite sisters captivate our screens drifting apart before eventually coming back together. Can we also take a moment to appreciate and recognize the legend that is Heath Ledger, gracing us with his incredible presence? Going up against a hunk like him, you need all the confidence you can get. For the women who have found conviction in who they are, here are 26 nostalgic '10 Things I Hate About You' memes that showcase the level of confidence we needed as girls growing up in a society where we were both 'overwhelmed and underwhelmed' all at once.
