This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Xavier chapter.

As someone who watches an obnoxious amount of Netflix, YouTube, and those totally legal movie sites, I’ve gotten my fair share funny, sad, and influential quotes. I am not, however, like those people that can quote Spongebob like it’s their day job. But those are my favorite kind of people!!

No matter how funny the TV show may seem, the writers always seem to throw in some inspiration and encouragement. Here are 25 of my favorite quotes from TV (it was very hard to narrow it down, let me tell ya). While the context of some of these were meant to be funny, I was able to find a side of it that made me really think about life. I chose these quotes with the intent for you to find some meaning. Your meaning may not be the same as mine, but take what you can and learn something from them. I was also able to find some of the quotes on the internet and linked them in so please enjoy them! As for the other ones, I guess you have some binge watching to do!
