13 Relatable Quotes In "13 Going on 30"

Not only is this movie funny and heartwarming, but it's full of relatable quotes and exchanges. Whether it be about loving our best friends or seizing the moment, this movie's got you covered.

1. Matt: "You don't always get the dream house, but sometimes you get pretty close, you know?"


2. Jenna: "Who are these women? Does anyone know? I don't recognize any of them..."


"I want to see...real women who are smart and pretty and happy to be who they are...I think all of us - want to feel something that we've forgotten or turned our backs on because maybe we didn't realize how much we were leaving behind. We need to remember what used to be good. If we don't, we won't recognize it even if it hits us between the eyes."

3. Beverly Rink: "Well, Jenna, I know I made a lot of mistakes, but I don't regret making any of them."
Jenna: "How come?"
Beverly Rink: "Because if I hadn't have made them, I wouldn't have learned how to make things right."

4. Jenna: "I wanna be 30!"

Beverly Rink: "Well, you will be, honey."


Leave it to Mama Rink to remind us that everything will come in time.

5. Jenna: "I don't want to be beautiful in my own way. I want to look like these people."

Beverly Rink: "Oh those aren't people honey, those are models."

And a shout out to Mama Rink for reminding us that we can't fulfill society's unrealistic expectations.

6. Matt: "There are six of them, Jenna, that's the whole point. There can't be a seventh Sixth Chick. It's just mathematically impossible. Besides you're way cooler than they are, they're totally unoriginal."



Shout out to Matt for reminding us that originality is more important than being cool.

7. Matt: "You can't just turn back time."

Jenna: "Why not?"


Even though we can't turn back time, "13 Going on 30" will always remind us that we can make the most of our situation and there's always the chance to reconnect with the people we love.

8. Matt: "Narrow, man. Narrow, hopeless people."


I feel ya, Matt. I wish people had better taste in music and the finer things, too.

9. Matt: "It doesn't matter what Lucy said. I stopped trusting her after she stole my Pop Rocks in the third grade."

10. Jenna: "I want you to be so, so happy."


11. Jenna: "I love you, Matt. You're my best friend."
Matt: "I love you too, Jenna... I've always loved you."

Crying as this duo reminds us that we should be best friends with the person we love.

12. Jenna: "You want to know a secret?"
Matt: "Yeah."
Jenna: "You're the sweetest guy I've ever met."

13. Beverly Rink: "Just because you don't look like those girls in Poise magazine doesn't mean you're not beautiful in your own way."

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.
