9 Aquamarine Quotes That Will Make You Want To Be A Mermaid (Again)
adiix3.files.wordpress.com

Aquamarine was released in 2006, so if you are a college-aged girl, it is likely that this was one of the movies of your childhood. From the unbreakable friendship of Claire, Hailey, and Aquamarine to the teenage drama and romance (I still can’t believe they were only in middle school), this movie has something that all teenage girls can relate to. This movie is filled with fabulous puns (most of which you don’t catch until you re-watch the movie 4+ years later), and the amount of sass and sarcasm is unreal. These quotes may not all be about the perks of being a mermaid, but they do remind us of the courage, strength, and honesty that Aquamarine shows towards her two best friends.

1. "Who needs Raymond? I found two new men to love... Their names are Ben and Jerry!"

This one speaks to me. I have never loved Aquamarine or Ben and Jerry’s more.

2. “And I know there’s a reason why everybody wants it so much.” / “And what’s that?” / “It’s the closest thing we have to magic.”

Even though these girls are only 13 or 14 years old, they are wise beyond their years. They really do know how to describe love.

3. “I was named Aquamarine after a rare and precious gemstone, whereas... Cecilia translated means "dim-sighted." But your parents know you better than I do.”

Aqua has to be the sassiest girl/mermaid out there. And the best part is, she doesn’t know it. She just harmlessly carries on with her sassy remarks and hilarious puns.

4. “We are not fictional! We're just discreet!”

It was at this moment that Aqua gave us hope that there really could be mermaids out there.

5. “But I've learned it's not where you are, it's who you're with.”

Even as Aqua laughs and jokes around as she adjusts to life with feet, she tends to have the deepest, most heartfelt conversations with Claire and Hailey.

6. “What’s happening to me? I’m leaking! . . . I’m leaking saltwater.”

This is hands-down one of the funniest quotes in the movie. Even though Aqua is crying, you can’t help but laugh.

7. “They literally give me compliments - in my ear. They talk to me. Starfish are notorious suck-ups. They love to give compliments.”

We are still waiting for these earrings to be a thing. Seriously. How great would it be to have someone/something constantly give you compliments and tell you the truth?

8. Raymond: “Are you always so sure of yourself?” Aquamarine: “Yes.” Raymond: “It's nice. More people should be like that.”

Aquamarine has killer confidence, and Raymond has no problem telling her the truth. We really do need more people like them.

9. "Why go through life unnoticed?"

Aqua teaches us that we can't be afraid to stand out and show who we really are.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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?
