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.

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
