10 "Sex and the City" Quotes Every 20-Something Needs When Looking For The Right Man

Few things are harder than dating in your 20s. Through the break ups, let downs, and all the surprises along the way, sometimes a girl just needs a lifeline. Over the course of six seasons and two films, "Sex and the City" has provided women with that lifeline. Here are the top ten quotes from our favorite foursome—Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha—to help you sort through the dating world.

1. For when your heart is broken by someone you’ve never even met—like maybe your secret crush in chemistry class—or in Miranda’s case, the man who stands you up.

“He doesn't even know me, the least he could do is get to know me before he rejects me.” – Miranda Hobbs

2. For when, despite your best efforts, what happened in the bedroom has to be a deal breaker.

“He raped my face. I'm never dating again.” – Charlotte York

3. For when you need a reminder that being single is absolutely fabulous.

“Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.” – Carrie Bradshaw

4. For when your relationship feels all consuming.

“Maybe all men are a drug. Sometimes they bring you down, and sometimes, like now, they get you so high.” – Carrie Bradshaw

5. For when your love life feels completely hopeless.

“Eventually all the pieces fall into place….until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment, and know that everything happens for a reason.” – Carrie Bradshaw

6. For when the slut shamers get you down and you need the perfect reminder to own your personal decisions and sexuality.

“I will not be judged by you or society. I will wear whatever and blow whomever I want as long as I can breathe—and kneel.” – Samantha Jones

7. For when you feel guilty about your need for revenge against your ex.

“Oh please, there’s always a competition with an ex, it’s called ‘who’ll die miserable?'” –Samantha Jones

8. For when you realize the relationship really is over.

“And finally, the most important break up rule: no matter who broke your heart, or how long it takes to heal, you’ll never get through it, without your friends.” – Carrie Bradshaw

9. For when realize exactly what you need.

“I’m someone who is looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t live without each other love.” – Carrie Bradshaw

10. For when you need a reminder that boyfriends aren’t everything.

“Maybe we can be each other’s soul mates. And then we can let men be just these great, nice guys to have fun with.” – Charlotte York

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
