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."

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
