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."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
