At the start of every new semester students are filled with conflicting emotions and feelings. Happiness, anxiousness, frustration, eagerness, confusion and enjoyment are all feelings and emotions that flood the brains of college students in the first week or so at the start of a new gamut of classes, friends and experiences. In order to combat these extreme feelings, here are 10 quotations that every college student needs to read:

1. "In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can." -Niko Kazantzakis

This is so important for everyone in everything we do.

2. "A little progress each day adds up to big results." -Satya Nani

Even though it may seem that that what we do in one day is not a lot, it does add up and amount to a lot in the end!

3. "It's never too late to get your sh*t together."

Truth.

4. "Don't stop until you're proud."

I really love this.

5. "May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears." -Nelson Mandela

This is beautiful, just beautiful.

6. "If you’re always trying to be normal you’ll never know how amazing you can be.” -Maya Angelou

Normalcy doesn't always allow for creativity. Keep this in mind.

7. "Humility is not thinking less of yourself. It’s thinking of yourself less." -C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis never ceases to amaze me.

8. "A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there."

Something that is familiar and feels comfortable may not allow us to be our best selves.

9. "Ask yourself if what you're doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow"

This is so important in choosing how we spend our days.

10. "Any thing is possible if you've got enough nerve" -J.K. Rowling

This is the perfect quote to end with.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
