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

We all know the stress of school, relationships and life in general can get the best of us and certainly bring out the worst in us. However, when this happens to me and I have to look for motivation to get me through and when in doubt, I turn to Elle Woods. This may sound silly, but the movie “Legally Blonde” is one of the best feel-good movies out there. It is incredibly moving and filled with women empowerment. So if you’re struggling here are 7 quotes that can get you through almost anything.   

1. “If I’m going to be a partner in a law firm by the time I’m 30, I’m going to need a boyfriend who’s not such a bonehead.”
