12 Times Dr. Seuss Sums Up "Finals Season"

With school coming to an end, many are finding better ways to keep their motivation. Dr. Seuss’s story books were some of the most unforgettable books that we read as children or even still as adults. You ever stop to wonder whether he was just describing the emotional roller-coaster that is finals?! Yeah me neither, until now. I compiled quotes from Dr. Seuss’s works that perfectly describe these last moments of the semester

1. Rereading all the chapters because you literally just don’t know what else to do.

“You have to be a speedy reader because there’s so so much to read.”
-I Can Read With My Eyes Shut

2. When it clicks and you finally understand!

“I will not eat them in a house, I will not eat them with a mouse, I will not eat them in a box I will not eat them with a fox, I will not eat them here or there I will not eat them anywhere, I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like them sam I am”
-Green Eggs and Ham

3. When you need motivation because you feel like a failure...

“When you think things are bad,
when you feel sour and blue,
when you start to get mad…
you should do what I do!
Just tell yourself, Duckie,
you’re really quite lucky!
Some people are much more…
oh, ever so much more…
oh, muchly much-much more
unlucky than you!”
-Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?

4. Making the most of studying with friends...

“I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny.”
-The Cat in the Hat


5. Looking at your current grades and calculating the scores you need to pass...

“It’s not about what it is, it’s about what it can become.”
-The Lorax



6. Losing your sanity after long hours and no sleep...

“From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!”
-One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

7. When you've lost all hope and want to cuddle with the weirdest things!

“I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful one-hundred percent!”
-Horton Hatches the Egg

8. Remembering your GPA could haunt you later...

“So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.”
-Oh, The Places You’ll Go!

9. Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
-I Can Read With My Eyes Shut

10. Giving yourself that last-minute pep-talk...

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
-Happy Birthday to You!

11. Redoing the same exam question multiple times, 5 minutes before time is up, because your brain finally decided to kick into overdrive.

“My trouble was I had a mind but I couldn’t make it up!”
-Hunches in Bunches

12. At the end of the day...

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”
-Oh, The Place You’ll go!

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
