19 Quotes From the Stellar Women of 'Suits'
USA Network

I am unashamed to say that I binge-watched all six and a half seasons of "Suits" in less than three weeks while also going to school and juggling sports and activities. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep those three weeks.

But the show was so addictive that I just couldn't stop watching.

One of the greatest aspects of the show is the incredibly diverse pool of characters, and from this come the strong female characters on the show. So, without any more introduction, here are 19 quotes from the stellar women of "Suits."

1. "I'm sorry I don't have a photographic memory but my brain is too busy being awesome." - Donna Paulsen

I feel like everyone that's not Mike Ross and doesn't have a photographic memory can relate.

2. "I can, because I do." - Jessica Pearson

It's really easy to get caught up in the banter between Harvey and Jessica, but Jessica is probably the most bad ass character on the show. Cause you know, her name's "on the damn door."

3. "I'm Donna. I know everything." - Donna Paulsen

Who doesn't love a funny, confident character, who, at the end of the day, would do anything to protect the people she loves?

4. "I am not the goody-goody you think I am." - Rachel Zane

And while Rachel definitely is a lot of very good things, she's definitely not a "goody-goody."

5. "You're not calling shots here. I am." - Jessica Pearson

@ every jerk who tries to take over and destroy her firm.

6. "I am pretty much a legal superhero." Rachel Zane

@ everyone who doubts her paralegal skills.

7. "I am not apologizing for who I am." - Donna Paulsen


8. "Good, you've hit on me. We can get it out of the way that I'm not interested." - Rachel Zane

9. "I'm not going to cower in some corner and try to convince them that I'm friendly. I'm gonna kick some ass and remind them that I'm fierce." - Jessica Pearson

10. "Took a while to Feng Shui the evil out." - Donna Paulsen

11. "Things will turn out the way they are supposed to." - Donna Paulsen

Something everyone anxious about the future definitely needs to hear.

12. "I don't respond to threats. I make them." - Jessica Pearson

1 3. "I will slap the taste out of your mouth." - Jessica Pearson

Just don't mess with Jessica.

14. "I'm not one to back away from a fight." - Rachel Zane

15. "Which is why God made Chunky Monkey. It has chocolate AND bananas. Bananas are part of a healthy breakfast. And who cares about bananas? It has chocolate. You caught me... I don't even eat the bananas." - Donna Paulsen

Because let's be honest this is all of us.

16. "You always respond to strength, not weakness." - Scottie

Her time on the show may have been short, but we definitely learned a thing or two about Harvey through Dana Schott.

17. "I don't want to go to Law School. I want to go to Harvard." - Rachel Zane

Rachel knows what she wants and she's not afraid to work for it.

18. "Having a vagina does not stop me from believing that my balls are bigger than yours." - Jessica Pearson

19. "There's a time to be gentle and there's a time to be firm." - Donna Paulsen

Every "Suits" character has something different to offer to the show, and the diversity provides something for everyone to enjoy. The women of the show, while fictional, are definitely representative of role models for girls everywhere.

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.
