The first of the two most dreadful weeks of the entire semester is about to arrive: midterm week. Before any of us can jet off to be with family, or take a much-needed relaxing getaway with friends, we must suffer through all the projects we procrastinated on because they “aren’t due until October” and the exams that basically make-up far too much percentage points of our grades. In better news, here are some inspiring, or just flat-out ridiculously amazing Sex and the City quotes from our favorite foursome (but mainly CB) to get you through the next week of hell.
1. “Sometimes, I would buy Vogue instead of dinner. I just felt it fed me more.” – Carrie
2. “Life gives you lots of chances to screw up which means you have just as many chances to get it right.” – Carrie
3. “The fact is, sometimes it’s really hard to walk in a single woman’s shoes. That’s why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun.” – Carrie
4. “The universe may not always play fair, but at least it’s got a hell of a sense of humor.” – Carrie
5. “I admit it’s tempting to wish for the perfect boss, or the perfect parent, or the perfect outfit, but the best anyone of us can do is not quit. Play the hand we’ve been given, and accessorize the outfit we’ve got.” – Carrie
6. “As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, woulda, shoulda, buckle up and just keep going.” – Carrie
7. “Sexy is what I try to get them to see me as after I win them over with my personality.” – Miranda
8. “Eventually all the pieces fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment and know that everything happens for a reason.” – Carrie
9. “Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.” – Carrie
10. “Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives?” – Carrie
11. “Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be.” – Carrie
12. “They say nothing lasts forever…Dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style.” – Carrie
13. “The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don’t. But, in the end, they’re the people you always come home to. Sometimes it’s the family you’re born into and sometimes it’s the one you make for yourself.” – Carrie
14. “When you’re determined to reach your goal, not even obstacles can scare you away.” – Carrie
15. “Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free. Until they find someone, just as wild to run with.” – Carrie
16. “So just love, make mistakes, and have wonderful times, but never second-guess who you are, where you have been, and, most importantly, where you are going.” – Carrie
And to whoever decided midterm week needed to be a thing, Charlotte and Co. all curse the day you were born. Bon voyage!
