October 3rd is not just any day for Mean Girls fans. The film has a massive fan following and has only received love from fans all over the world, who observe October 3rd as Mean Girls Day every year.

It has been 18 years since the film was released in 2004 and starred Lindsay Lohan AKA Cady Heron, the movie's main character. It was Cady who started the trend of 'October 3rd.' However, people might wonder why the day is celebrated in October when the film came out in April 2004.

Well, it goes all the way back to an interaction between Aaron Samuels (Jonathan Bennett) and Cady, that took place during math class. People who have seen the movie will immediately know the iconic dialog where Aaron asks Cady what day it was and she says, "It's October third."

In a monolog, Cady says:

"With Regina's blessing, I started talking to Aaron more and more. On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was. "

Since the scene was truly the beginning of the legendary romance between Cady and Aaron, fans remember October 3rd as Mean Girls Day.
