If ’90s romcoms taught me anything, it’s that the awkward nerdy girl in high school is secretly a smokeshow. All you have to do it get her a tighter-fitting shirt and take off her glasses, then voilà, she’s instantly hot.

We can’t all be hot Velma, or Laney from She’s All That, so our transformation from high school to the real world takes more than discovering contact lenses.
