11 Iconic Fictional Women
Gabriel Alfonso

From cartoon princesses to the stars of your favorite dramas, here are eleven fictional women and their most iconic quotes.

1. Blair Waldorf (Gossip Girl)

Blair is the queen of the Upper East Side. She's a dramatic, controlling perfectionist who stops at nothing to get what she wants. No matter how much scheming she does, you can't help but admire her.

Quote: "Once men have tasted caviar, it baffles me how they settle for catfish."

2. Cinderella (Cinderella)

When I was little I watched Cinderella every day, sometimes twice a day. She is truly the embodiment of kindness and forgiveness.

Quote: "Have Courage, and Be Kind."

3. Alex Russo (Wizards of Waverly Place)


Although she may not be the best in school, she has street smarts and is able to manipulate people to her advantage. She also has a great sense of humor.

Quote: "They teach you that the truth is good, and then when you say the truth, everybody gets offended."

4. Braeden (Teen Wolf)

She has an extremely dangerous job, and she totally kicks butt at it.

Quote: "I won. When you're a human facing off against the supernatural, you need to bend the rules a little bit."

5. Cristina Yang (Grey's Anatomy)

Cristina is passionate about her work and is without a doubt one of the most hard working women. She definitely knows how to give good advice when necessary.

Quote: "Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy, but he's not the sun, you are."

6. Marie Laveau (American Horror Story)


She is the queen of Voodoo and lives up to the title. No one dares to cross her, and she shows no mercy to those who do.

Quote: "You could offer me a unicorn that shit hundred dollar bills and I'd still never give you nothing more than a headache."

7. Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)


Intelligent, studious, and always has a plan of action. She's someone that you could always count on no matter what.

Quote: “I mean, you could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist!”

8. Elle Woods (Legally Blonde)

So iconic. Broke down so many stereotypes about sorority women and worked hard for what she wanted.

Quote: "I don't need backups, I'm going to Harvard."

9. Belle (Beauty and the Beast)

She doesn't conform to anyone's standards and is always dreaming. Loving and nonjudgmental.

Quote: "I want adventure in the great wide somewhere."

10. Cookie Lyon (Empire)

Brutally honest and willing to do whatever it takes for things to go her way. She always puts her family first.

Quote: "The streets ain't made for everybody. That's why they made sidewalks."

11. Emily Thorne (Revenge)


Genius when it comes to scheming and takedowns. She's beautiful and well-spoken, so none of her targets ever suspected it was her that ruined their lives.

Quote: "True loyalty takes years to build, and only seconds to destroy."

"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. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

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?
