12 Quotes For When You're Seeking Happiness

While doing my daily scroll through Pinterest I came across a quote, the first quote on this list, and for some reason it stayed with me throughout the day. A little while later, my mom sent me another affirmation on happiness.

Since both inspired me, I decided to round of up a list of quotes on the subject. We could all use a little extra dose of happiness from time to time, especially with finals coming up. Stress, anxiety, and worry sometimes take over when we have a lot going on with school and work. So if you find yourself needing a little extra happiness, here are 15 quotes on happiness.

1. "To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness." -Robert Morley

Love yourself!

2. When you can't find the sunshine... be the sunshine.

When life gives you lemons... you make lemonade!

3. It's the little things in life.

Remember to put down the phone, and enjoy a cup of coffee while spending some time appreciating the company you have present and the world around you.

4. "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." -Mother Teresa

Happiness is infectious. Pass it on to everyone you meet. Not only will you make their day better, you'll make yours better too!

5. Being happy is a very personal thing, and it really has nothing to do with anyone else.

Your happiness is your own. No one can take it away from you.

6. Don't be afraid of new beginnings, from new people, new energy, new surroundings, new challenges. Embrace new chances of happiness.

Happiness can come from unexpected places. Seize every opportunity that comes your way. They may not all be for you, but the important thing is that you learned something about yourself.

7. Today I choose joy.

Choose joy a little more often!

8. "The key to being happy is knowing you have the power to choose what to accept and what to let go." -Dodinsky

If it doesn't make you happy, it has no place in your life.

9. The best part about life? Every morning you have a new opportunity to become a happier version of yourself.

Wake up! It's a brand new day!

10. "Happy girls are the prettiest girls." -Audrey Hepburn

Smile more. Laugh more. Live more.

11. Always find time for the things that make you feel happy to be alive.

What makes you happy? Dance? Music? Sports? Reading?

12. "Happiness is not a checklist. A dream job, a fast car, a good home, even love, mean nothing at all if you have not yet found a way to feel full and content in your own mind and heart." -Beau Taplin

Your happiness doesn't depend on another person, or their idea of happiness. What does being happy mean to you?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
