10 Favourite Quotes From "The Fosters"
FreeForm

"The Fosters" is one of my favourite reality TV shows (and I normally don't watch TV). It's about a teenage girl, Callie Jacob, who gets placed in a foster home with a lesbian couple and their blend of biological, adoptive and foster children. It focuses on a lot of really controversial issues and that's why I love it so much. There are so many great moments and quotes, so I'm going to share with you today my 10 Favourite Quotes from "The Fosters" that speak for themselves


1. "We probably judge ourselves way harsher than anyone judges us" -Ana Gutierrez

It's okay to give yourself grace sometimes


2. "DNA doesn't make a family, Love does." -Lena Adams Foster

Who you call your family doesn't have to be those who are related to you by blood. Sometimes the best families are the ones who aren't.


3. "There's nothing wrong with being different." -Lena Adams Foster

Be who you are. Embrace it. As the famous Dr. Seuss says, those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.


4. "Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission" -Mariana Foster

(This is one of the more mischievous quotes, where Mariana would rather do something without asking for her moms permission but rather asking for forgiveness later)

5. "Who I love shouldn't be an issue for you or anyone else" -Stephanie Foster

In a world where the idea of who a person loves has become such a big issue, who you love is who you love. You shouldn't ever let anyone tell you it's an issue. If they have an issue with who you love, that's something they need to work out alone.


6. "Why does everyone go around labeling people?" -Jude Adams Foster

Makes us think. Why do we go around putting labels on people? Good or bad ones.


7. "You do what you have to do for the sake of your family" -Lena Adams Foster

Family always comes first. Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is the thing you have to do for your family.


8. "You are a mathematical equation which I have yet to solve." -A.J. Hensdale

Because this show isn't just all sad stories. There's romance and awful pickup lines!


9. "You're not disposable Callie. You're not worthless." -Stephanie Foster

No human should ever feel like they're worthless or disposable. Because they're not. Everyone is worthy of love.


10. "When you continue to justify your actions, it's a pretty clear sign that you've lost your sight of right and wrong." -Lena Adams Foster

You can't justify everything that you do because then it's very clear that you've become desensitized to right and wrong. You have no clear pathway and/or rules and morals to tell you.


Have I convinced you to watch the show yet?! It's on Netflix if you're interested. It really is an amazing show, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone that I could.

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

Your Friend Group, As Told By Disney Princesses

Each Disney Princess has their own personality, and chances are you've got a friend in your group to match it.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
