10 Quotes To Live By As You're Growing Up

Quotes are so important to live by because they provide us with that little bit of motivation that we may need on any given day. At this particular age in our lives as adolescents, we are growing more than we think. Not being aware of where we are going or our purpose in life, we can have the tendency to get lost or lose our motivation. This is why I love reading quotes. Beginning with the start of my freshman year in college, my dad would email an inspirational quote to my family every single day. Now in my sophomore year, he continues to do just that. I have learned something valuable out of each and every quote. These ten quotes are significant ones that resonate with me as a college student:

1. “Spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people…” - The Breakfast Club

2. “Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.” -Jamie Paolinetti

3. “The power of can’t: The word ‘can’t’ makes strong people weak, blinds people who can see, saddens happy people, turns brave people into cowards, robs a genius of their brilliance, causes rich people to think poorly, and limits the achievements of that great person living inside us all.” – Robert T. Kiyosaki

4. I think growing up is difficult and it's a process that I'm always interested in, with kids and adults, they are often on two different universes. Alice Hoffman

5. “Stop trying to be less of who you are. Let this time in your life cut you open and drain all of the things that are holding you back.” -Jennifer Elisabeth

6. "It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change." -Charles Darwin

7. "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." -Helen Keller

8. "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." -Friedrich Nietzsche

9. "Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes" -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

10. "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on." -Robert Frost

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
