Moments we all wanted to be Veronica Lodge

By Mackenzi Butson

Veronica Lodge is a sassy, yet sensitive former socialite from New York who moved to Riverdale with her mom and befriends Archie and Betty. Ms. Lodge is a fashionista with a big heart and an even bigger attitude; I shamelessly admit there were moments we all wanted to be her.

Veronica went through life-changing events in season one; despite having a close network of Riverdale friends, she delves in old habits of #retailtherapy.

She stands up against the condescending captain of the cheerleading squad, Cheryl Blossom, in a plot-changing musical shift that shakes Riverdale’s cheer leading hierarchy to its core.

I have to admit; my heart broke for Betty when Archie saw her as “just a friend” and I grew bitter towards Veronica for pursuing him. However, after seeing them together, I knew it was meant to be.

Every person deserves that supportive friend to push them out of their comfort-zone. Veronica is Betty’s ride-or-die friend and that just makes the sassy socialite all the more inspiring to be.
