10 "Sex and the City" Quotes Every 20-Something Needs When Looking For The Right Man

Few things are harder than dating in your 20s. Through the break ups, let downs, and all the surprises along the way, sometimes a girl just needs a lifeline. Over the course of six seasons and two films, "Sex and the City" has provided women with that lifeline. Here are the top ten quotes from our favorite foursome—Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha—to help you sort through the dating world.

1. For when your heart is broken by someone you’ve never even met—like maybe your secret crush in chemistry class—or in Miranda’s case, the man who stands you up.

“He doesn't even know me, the least he could do is get to know me before he rejects me.” – Miranda Hobbs

2. For when, despite your best efforts, what happened in the bedroom has to be a deal breaker.

“He raped my face. I'm never dating again.” – Charlotte York

3. For when you need a reminder that being single is absolutely fabulous.

“Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.” – Carrie Bradshaw

4. For when your relationship feels all consuming.

“Maybe all men are a drug. Sometimes they bring you down, and sometimes, like now, they get you so high.” – Carrie Bradshaw

5. For when your love life feels completely hopeless.

“Eventually all the pieces fall into place….until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment, and know that everything happens for a reason.” – Carrie Bradshaw

6. For when the slut shamers get you down and you need the perfect reminder to own your personal decisions and sexuality.

“I will not be judged by you or society. I will wear whatever and blow whomever I want as long as I can breathe—and kneel.” – Samantha Jones

7. For when you feel guilty about your need for revenge against your ex.

“Oh please, there’s always a competition with an ex, it’s called ‘who’ll die miserable?'” –Samantha Jones

8. For when you realize the relationship really is over.

“And finally, the most important break up rule: no matter who broke your heart, or how long it takes to heal, you’ll never get through it, without your friends.” – Carrie Bradshaw

9. For when realize exactly what you need.

“I’m someone who is looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t live without each other love.” – Carrie Bradshaw

10. For when you need a reminder that boyfriends aren’t everything.

“Maybe we can be each other’s soul mates. And then we can let men be just these great, nice guys to have fun with.” – Charlotte York

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
