The 18 Best How I Met Your Mother Quotes

"How I Met Your Mother" truly has some of the best scripts. Yes, it's a sitcom, but it can get very deep at times as well. While it makes us laugh, it also includes some life lessons from Lily, Ted, Robin, Marshall and even Barney. Between Ted’s love life and his desperation for Robin, we get some very nice quotes. Barney is always bound to talk about high fives and being awesome, and Marshall and Lily are always talking about being the cutest couple in the world. Here they are: the best, most wonderful, HIMYM quotes. Of course, there are many more, but these are some of the highlights.


“If you have chemistry, you only need one other thing: Timing. But timing’s a bitch." - Robin

“Whatever you do in this life, it’s not legendary unless your friends are there to see it.” – Barney

“If you’re not scared, then you’re not taking a chance. If you’re not taking a chance, then what the hell are you doing?” – Ted

“The future is scary, but you can’t just run back to the past because it’s familiar. Yes, it’s tempting, but it’s a mistake.” – Robin

“OK, yes, it’s a mistake. I know it’s a mistake, but there are certain things in life where you know it’s a mistake. But you don’t really know it’s a mistake because the only way to really know it’s a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say, ‘Yep, that was a mistake.’” – Lily

“When I let a day go by without talking to you, that day’s just no good.” – Barney

“I’m cuddly bitch - deal with it!”– Marshall

“That’s life, you know. You never end up where you thought you wanted to be.” –Marshall

“You can’t design your life like a building. You just have to live it, and it’ll design itself.” –Lily

“I request the highest of fives.” – Barney

“The good things will always be here waiting for you.” – Lily

“When you find someone you want to keep around, you do something about it.” – Ted

“You don’t want to tell me what’s wrong? Fine, I don’t need to know, but you can never stop me from trying to cheer you up. It’s a fact of life.” – Ted

“A lie is just a great story that someone ruined with the truth.” – Barney

“When it’s after 2 a.m., just go to sleep. Because the decisions you make after 2 a.m. are the wrong decisions.” – Ted

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.
