11 Carrie Bradshaw Quotes Worth Noting

Though I was far too young to watch the show its first time around, I'm currently almost finished with the last season of "Sex and the City" on Amazon Prime *insert sad, sad face here*. As a young writer myself, I can't help but be inspired by the main character, Carrie Bradshaw. After all, she makes a living by writing for a column in a New York newspaper, has a fantastic group of gal pals, and has an endless assortment of shoes in her closet. Throughout the show's six seasons, I've noted some quotes that we can all agree with or relate to.

1. "Maybe you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be."

Maybe Carrie was right. In order to move forward, you have to sometimes let go of your past.

2. "Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate."

That mistake you thought may ruin your life? Nah, it's just a part of the journey.

3. "The universe may not always play fair, but at least it's got a hell of a sense of humor."

Sometimes it seems as though the universe is against us, but that's just how life goes.

4. "Friendships don't magically last 40 years. You have to invest in them. It's like your savings; you don't expect to wake up one day when you're old and find a big bucket of money waiting there."

Friendships don't magically last, and effort is key.

5. "You can never have too many pairs of shoes."

Well, Carrie, if you insist.

6. "Life gives you lots of chances to screw up, which means you have just as many chances to get it right."

Keep working on getting it right and don't let the hard times get you down.

7. "Sometimes the wrong choices lead us to the right places."

Carrie's love affair with Mr. Big drove us all crazy for way too long, but maybe it's what was meant to be.

8. "When you're determined to reach your goal, not even obstacles can scare you away."

If it matters enough to you, nothing can hold you back.

9. "I save my carbs for wine, it's called priorities."


Or Carrie's infamous drink, a cosmopolitan.

10. "Don't forget to fall in love with yourself first."

Before you open your heart to someone else, you need to love yourself.

11. "I like my money where I can see it--hanging in my closet."


With labels like Prada and Chanel, it's no wonder all of Carrie's money hangs in her closet.

As a viewer of "Sex and the City", I owe Carrie Bradshaw a huge thank you for teaching us lessons of love, true friendship, and that there's no such thing as too many shoes.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
