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

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.
