10 Iconic Movie Quotes College Students Use Most

By Jessi Stickel on June 4, 2015

Movies have become an important part of our culture, and reciting movie quotes is a major trend as well. Quoting movies is almost like having an inside joke with someone, just because you’ve seen the same films.

It seems like everyone knows the popular movie quotes, and if you don’t you are totally left out, especially for the younger generations like college students.

It’s fun for college students to lighten up the mood of writing papers and taking exams with a funny movie quote everyone knows!

Here are some of the most popular movie quotes among college students.

1. “Just keep swimming.” – Finding Nemo

When we are already struggling halfway through the semester …

We all grew up watching the amazing underwater story of a clown fish searching for his son and along the way meeting some interesting characters. We college students still enjoy watching the Disney movie and in some ways can still relate to the film. Plus, it’s nice to be reminded of something from your childhood when you’re up to your knees in homework.

2. “That is so fetch.” & “You can’t sit with us!” – Mean Girls

When someone tries to squeeze into the smallest spot at your table in the library during finals week …

Basically everyone in the English speaking world knows this movie (get it?). “Mean Girls” has become a very popular movie in the last few years, even though it originally premiered in 2004. There are several quotes from the film that went viral. You can even find shirts, hats, and other accessories with the quotes on them.

3. “Help me, I’m poor.” – Bridesmaids

When you come home for the weekend and your grandparents ask you how school’s going …

It seems like “Bridesmaids” was the movie of 2011, starring some of the most hilarious comedic women. However, this movie does not just have female fans; any comedy lover would enjoy watching this movie. I’m pretty sure almost every college student can relate to this popular quote.

4. “You’re killin’ me smalls.” – The Sandlot

When your professor still won’t bump your grade up when you got a 79.4 percent …

“The Sandlot” is a classic movie that came out before some of us were even born (1993), but pretty much all of us saw when we were kids. Watching this movie just makes you feel like getting all your friends together and playing a good game of baseball. Let’s be honest, the quote is fun to say!

5. “There’s so much room for activities.” – Step Brothers

When you and your roommate reorganize the furniture in your dorm room …

This movie is one of the best comedies of the 2000s, and basically any Will Ferrell movie. Having such a wide range of viewers, “Step Brothers” became very popular. Since the characters act like kids in the movie, college students can relate and die laughing watching the film.

6. “As if.” – Clueless

When your professor always tries to partner you up with the kid in class that smells like bologna …

Whether you are 16 or 45, there is a slim chance that you have not seen this famous film. “Clueless” was a 1995 hit, and still is to this day. Who could forget the fabulous Cher’s advice about high school?

7. “I just like to smile, smiling’s my favorite.” – Elf

When you’re walking to class and catch your crush staring at you, but your friends ask you why you’re smiling like that …

“Elf” is a new generation Christmas movie classic! Who doesn’t watch this movie at least twice around Christmas time? Almost anyone can enjoy this holiday comedy, from 2 to 100 years old. Buddy just has a way of making the holiday joyful!

8. “May the odds be ever in your favor.” – The Hunger Games

What your professors are thinking while handing out finals …

Although “The Hunger Games” series of movies are somewhat new, they became vastly popular for the younger generation. The adventure film can make you feel like you can do anything, even getting a 4.0 this semester. College students just can’t get enough of Katniss Everdeen’s bravery and of course, her awesome bow shot!

9. “I tend to think of myself as a one man wolf pack.” – The Hangover

When you see “Group Project” on the class syllabus …

“The Hangover” has become a classic comedic film. I feel like no one has watched this movie and not liked it. Alan’s foolishness created so many quotes people use all the time. With the crazy story line and hysterical characters, there is not a minute you are not laughing your butt off.

10. “Keep the change, you filthy animal.” – Home Alone

Paying for your textbooks at the school store …

“Home Alone” is a 1990 Christmas classic. Watching Kevin take control of the house and trick the impudent thieves couldn’t make Christmas any more perfect!

So don’t let the stress of college get you down, and keep up the quoting!
