And what we can learn from them.

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."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
