Our new heroine.

Our new heroine.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been a familiar/relatable face to so many of us for many years now, whether we’re relating to her struggles in successfully pulling off dance moves in public as Elaine on Seinfeld or running the whole dang show/nation as Vice President Selina Meyers on Veep. (OK, so we’re not making policy calls YET, but here’s to the future.) Julia is just as much a true-blue homie in person, as evidenced by this incredible advice video she’s graced us with today, including insensitive behavior from pals, sinking yourself into your extracurriculars, and what to do when your older friends are hanging out without you. Take it away, Julia!
