Student visits McGill counselor to be reassured she isn’t Regina George after reading suggestive BuzzFeed article
It was a stressful weekend for U2 Management student Clare Sutherland, who after reading a BuzzFeed article published last Thursday titled “22 Signs You Might Secretly Be Regina George,” needed to pay an emergency visit to McGill Counselling Services to be reassured that she was not, in fact, the ‘Queen Bee’ from Mean Girls.
In a stunning coincidence, Sutherland was able to identify with all 22—though it should be mentioned that #22 was really just a cute way of reiterating #21—of the signs that were listed in the article. She says that the panic really began to set in for her after reading #16, which stated, “You’ve perfected the eye roll.”
“It was like, I can’t even,” began Sutherland. “At first, it was kind of cool because all the things sounded like me and I knew that like three of my girlfriends would post it on Facebook and tag me in it. But then it just kept going. Like, I’m not the only girl who has perfect hair, and award winning sass, and doesn’t have time for basic bitches; but once I scrolled down to the eye roll thingy, I was like, ‘Is this a fucking joke?’”
Rather than freak out at that point, Sutherland—in accordance with #17 (“Even in times of chaos, you’re perfectly calm)—kept it together and coolly finished her cappuccino at El Mundo café. Even roommate Amanda Charlesworth didn’t pick up on anything when Sutherland returned that afternoon to their Durocher apartment.
“Clare was just being regular Clare that day,” recounted Charlesworth. “She came in and I told her how sexy she looked in her outfit and she was all like, ‘I know.’ And then she told me I was coming to 4 to 7 with her so I stopped studying for my Communications quiz I had the next day and went with her.”
Reports indicate that Sutherland arrived at the Counseling Service office at 9:02AM this morning, and as sign #7 would suggest, she didn’t take the secretary’s shit when she told Sutherland that her problem didn’t really qualify for a “Crisis Drop-In” appointment. By 9:08, she was seen being escorted into an office with counselor Paula Hicks. She came out at 9:11 with the same air of flawless confidence that she came in with, but finally had confirmation that this was one of her own qualities, and not something created in the mind of Tina Fey.
“Paula sat me down and started talking about how, like, it was okay if I was hearing voices in my head that were Regina and stuff,” said Sutherland. “But then I let her know about the BuzzFeed article and she told me right there that I definitely wasn’t Regina George.”
Minutes after leaving the office, sources say that Sutherland went directly to her group project meeting in the Bronfman building where she proceeded to organize tasks for everyone while giving herself the least responsibility.
