Winona Ryder was -- and always will be -- the ultimate babe. Her movies appeal to the angsty teenager living inside all of us, no matter the age. Here are 17 times we could 100% relate to her characters. Winona forever!

When she knew that being alive was the worst

When she felt like an outcast

When she had no time for crushes

When she was too busy worrying about the future

When she had so many emotions, she couldn't figure them out

When she was the most mature person in the room

When she thought, "Wait, maybe I'm sane?"

When she was a little self-involved

When she wasn't the bubbly person everyone wanted her to be

When she questioned everything

When she wasn't like other girls

When she didn't give an eff

When she was all about that angst

When she couldn't keep her feelings in

When she had the best comebacks

When she didn't know what the youths were talking about

When she knew just what to say
