One Tree Hill was one of my recent addictions. The main influence of this addiction was Brooke Davis. It is easy to relate to her dynamic character and willingness to feel every emotion so deeply. She radiates confidence and isn't afraid of setbacks or transformation. These are the top 15 Brooke Davis quotes that changed my life.

1. “If you had a friend that you knew you’d never see again, what would you say? If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be? Say it. Do it. Don’t wait. Nothing lasts forever.”

2. “What’s more important? What we become or how we become it?"

3. "Someone once said, 'It's the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time.' Me? I just wanna live a life I'm gonna remember, even if I don't write it down."

4. "You know when I was a freshman I wasn't a very good person ... And over the last four years, I've been forced to grow up. I stopped letting boys define me, and I started believing in myself and in my potential.”

5. “Once you lose yourself you have two choices; find the person you used to be or lose that person completely.”

6. “People who are meant to be together always find a way to each other.”

7. "Do you know what my mother said to me when I told her I wanted to start a company? She said your chances are one in a million. And I said maybe I'm that one, and she said you're not. And she was wrong. Because I am one in a million."

8. "Somebody please tell me you've got love figured out, because I got news for you; it's pretty darn messy right now. But I guess it has always been that way. Wanting to be loved, to find somebody that makes your heart ache in a good way, feel understood. So if you're robots, or aliens, or something and you're watching this right now and that feeling no longer exists; well, you missed it and I feel sorry for you. 'Cause as far as I can tell, that's what it's all about."

9. “At the end of the day, you are who you are, and it's probably who you've always been.”

10. “We go days without having a meaningful conversation, and I used to miss you so much when that happened, but it never seemed like you missed me. And I guess because of it, I stopped missing you.”

11. “There's a day when you realize that you're not just a survivor, you're a warrior. You're tougher than anything life throws your way.”

12. “I'm not the most eloquent speaker so I borrowed a few words from Shakespeare: 'Love is not one which alters when it alteration finds.' When life gets hard, when things change, true love remains the same.”

13. “Everyone should have that, a place that makes them happy."

14. "Sometimes my heart aches at how my life has turned out, in a good way. It doesn't mean there haven't been hardships, there have been, but I'm here and here is good."

15. “How many moments in your life can you look back to and think 'That’s when it all changed.”

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
