LIFE

If you're anything like us, you've def already binge-watched the latest season of the Baby-Sitters Club. Not only is it the *perfect* comfort show, it also tells meaningful stories and spotlights a fabulous group of besties! While each girl in the BSC is unique and awesome in her own way, chances are you have a favorite—so read on to find out what your fave member of the club says about you! 

Kristy Thomas

If your fave member is Kristy, then you're a natural-born leader! (Hello, Madame President?) You *always* have a plan, and with your strong-willed self in charge, there's no doubt you'll make it happen. You're not afraid to speak your mind, and people totally admire your confidence. You're also super reliable and loyal; when your bestie is having a tough day, you're always there to remind them how amazing they are. Sometimes, you might struggle with letting people in and seeing their point of view. You never know—if you give them a chance, they just might surprise you!

Claudia Kishi

If Claudia is your pick, then you're a creative cutie! You probably have the perfect Pinterest board for every aesthetic, can pull together the *trendiest* outfit even when you're running late and *always* get caught doodling during class. You also have a major sweet tooth—you're the BFF who keeps an entire stash of gum or candies in her bag! You're extroverted, bubbly and friendly to everyone you meet. But, sometimes your playful personality can hide when you aren't feeling the happiest. Even having not-so-positive emotions is a part of expressing yourself, too!

Stacey McGill

Calling all Stacey stans! You're sophisticated, charming and kind. An intelligent high-achiever, you give 100% to everything you do, whether that's finishing up your math homework or planning a fun weekend hangout. You're also a fashionista at heart—your friends are always texting you for advice on what to wear in any situation! However, you can also be a bit of a perfectionist. You might want other people to think you're super successful, but are really hard on yourself when you feel like you've failed. Remember, your very best will *always* be enough, no matter what anyone else thinks. 

Mary Anne Spier 

If you're a fan of Mary Anne, then you are probably the voice of reason in your friend group. You're organized, caring and a true introvert. You're the gal who has the *best* notes to study from or the *prettiest* bullet journal spread! You're also the one who always finds something witty to say during an awkward silence, who your besties share all their secrets with because your gentle, grounded personality makes them feel supported. But, while you're constantly there for everyone else, you might forget to show up for yourself. Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself, too—a little quiet confidence goes a long way!

Dawn Schafer

If Dawn is your fave, then you are open minded, laid-back and driven! You're an activist who wants to change the world. Luckily, your chill personality and your passion to stand up for what you believe in make an unstoppable combo. Your friends can always count on you for anything—whether it's helping them run a fundraiser in your community, or analyzing their birth chart! They know you'll always accept them and hype them up no matter what. Even though you're a go-with-the-flow kind of gal, remember that it's okay to be assertive—you don't have to bottle things up all the time!

Jessi Ramsey

If you love Jessi, then you're athletic, hardworking and reliable. You have *tons* of hobbies and interests, and you def know how to balance them all. Just like Jessi can go straight from ballet rehearsals to a BSC meeting! A loyal and welcoming friend, you're always happy to bring someone new into your circle. You're also super goal-oriented—you have big dreams, and will do whatever you can to achieve them. Sometimes this means that you struggle with not feeling good enough for what you want. Imposter syndrome is the *worst*, but you deserve to be exactly where you are—and don't forget it!

Mallory Pike

It's the BSC's bookworm bb! If you chose Mallory, you're imaginative, quirky and fun. You're the bestie who has a stack of unread books on her nightstand, but will still want to make a trip to the bookstore or library for more. A natural storyteller, you're curious and excited to learn about the world around you. You also might be the "mom friend" of the group—you love uplifting your friends, making them smile and doing whatever you can to help them. While you're always trying to listen to everyone else, make sure you pay attention to your own voice, too—it's worth sharing with the people you care about!
