17 Cliche Quotes That Don't Make Sense

You know those quotes you hear so much that you just accept them as truth? Well some of them are pretty dumb -- especially these.


1. "You are what you eat."

Um....no. Last time I checked I am not a Chipotle burrito, I am a human being.

2. "Stars don't shine without darkness."

Yes they do, you just can't see them as well, but I'm sure they don't have an on and off switch.

3. "Money can't buy happiness."

Homie, I can think of a million things that I could buy that would bring me happiness. A ticket to Disney World, Chick-fil-A, extremely soft blankets, puppies, the Harry Potter box set -- the options are endless.

4. "Never regret something that once made you smile."

Have you ever had food poisoning, friend?

5. "It is what it is."

This quote is just accepting defeat and not taking control of your own circumstances.

6. "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

This makes no sense considering the moon is 93 million miles away from the nearest star. So you definitely will not land among the stars.

7. "Live for the nights you'll never remember with the friends you'll never forget."

Are they really that great of friends if you forget the nights you hang out with them? Find more important things to live for.

8. "Live, laugh, love."

Just stop.

9. "You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince."

Maybe I'm not looking for my prince by kissing a bunch of frogs.

10. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

False. Lemonade also requires water and sugar.

11."Live every day like it's your last."

If we all followed this advice, we would never graduate college because we'd be too busy living it up on our last day.

12. "It takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile."

Do people physically frown when they're sad? I definitely don't.

13. "Keep calm and carry on."

How am I supposed to keep calm when my favorite character dies on "Game of Thrones"?! How?!

14. "Do one thing every day that scares you."

This just seems irresponsible. I'm not messing with spiders or heights, thanks.

15. "Every girl is beautiful. Sometimes it just takes the right guy to see it."

Stop judging your beauty based on what a guy thinks. Stop.

16. "Too blessed to be stressed."

I think we can all agree that we are very blessed in life but that still doesn't keep us from being stressed during finals. It just doesn't work like that.

17. "All's fair in love and war."

If this was an accepted quote, then the world would be in ruins.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
