11 Life Quotes From "How I Met Your Mother"

"How I Met Your Mother" is one of the most popular sitcoms that has ever aired on television. While it mirrors a lot of the same topics and ideas from another popular sitcom, "Friends" I have found that HIMYM has a lot more life lessons built into it (I mean, the show is all about how Ted meets the mother of his children, of course there are a ton of life lessons). I decided to feature a few in this week's article to help everyone remember that life is just a never ending cycle of learning lessons.

1. "Because sometimes even if you know how something's gonna end that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the ride."

2. "That’s life, you know, we never end up where you thought you wanted to be."

3. "We’re going to get older whether we like it or not, so the only question is whether we get on with our lives, or desperately cling to the past."

4. "There are a lot of little reasons why the big things in our lives happen."

5. "Look, you can’t design your life like a building. It doesn’t work that way. You just have to live it… and it’ll design itself."

6. "I realized that I’m searching, searching for what I really want in life. And you know what? I have absolutely no idea what that is."

7. "A word of advice: play along. The more you fight it, the worse it’s gonna get. It’s like when your car slides on ice, you steer into the skid."

8. "You can’t just skip ahead to where you think your life should be."

9. "Sometimes hours can feel like minutes, and sometimes a single second can last a lifetime."

10. "When you have Chemistry, you just need one other thing. Timing. But timings a bitch."

11. "And when you love someone you just, you…you don’t stop, ever. Even when people roll their eyes, and call you crazy. Even then. Especially then. You just– you don’t give up. Because if I could just give up…if I could just, you know, take the whole world’s advice and– and move on and find someone else, that wouldn’t be love. That would be… that would be some other disposable thing that is not worth fighting for."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
