College Queen and BFF
Barbie is the ultimate college role model. Smart, kind, and hardworking, she’s also fun, ambitious and loves to learn. Her motto is ‘You can be anything’ and that’s something that we’re so here for!
She’d rock up to college lectures in her bright pink (eco-friendly) Barbie car wearing on-point outfits and throw herself into campus life.
Top of the class, she’d ask all the right questions and gather friends for motivating study sessions in Yugo’s dedicated study rooms. She’d be majoring in something challenging like Law or Astrophysics, but she wouldn’t stop there! 🧑🎓
In her free time, she’d socialize with friends, go on romantic dates with dreamy Ken (swoon!), explore her college town, and dive into a bunch of extracurricular activities while heading up the student committee.
She’d be THE dream roomie, with deep late-night chats, movie nights, and makeovers. She’d take you to every sorority and fraternity party, where she’d bust dance moves and be the life and soul! The party don’t start until she walks in. 💃
She’d be serious about the future too, with big career plans, travels, and making a difference. In her words, “Love and imagination can change the world!” 👏💯🔥
Don’t even get us started on her college bedroom…
