15 Quotes for the Struggling College Student
US News

While being a college student is pretty great, I have found that it is also just as stressful. We're half-way through the semester, and if someone doesn't have three papers and a test to study for in every class, then they are lucky. With midterms coming up and fall break just beyond our reach, it can be hard to find the motivation we need to successfully get through the week without having a mental breakdown. So I have searched the deep and dark depths of Pinterest to bring to all you struggling college students some quotes to remember when it fees like you just can't make it to Friday.

1. "The one who falls and gets up is so much stronger than the one who never fell."

2. "Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will."
- Karim Seddiki

3. "If you were able to believe in Santa Claus for like 8 years, you can believe in yourself for like 5 minutes."

4. "You did not wake up today to be mediocre."

5. "A diamond is a chunk of coal that did well under pressure."
- Henry Kissinger

6. "Once upon a time you were a little kid with big dreams that you promised you'd make real one day. Don't disappoint yourself."

7. "Fate whispers to the warrior 'You cannot withstand the storm' and the warrior whispers back, 'I am the storm.'"

8. "No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up, and never give up."

9. "The struggle you're in today, is developing the strength you need for tomorrow."

10. "I'm not telling you it's going to be easy. I'm telling you it's going to be worth it."
- Art Williams

11. "The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand?"
- Captain Jack Sparrow.

12. "Be strong, you never know who you are inspiring.

13. "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."
- Thomas Edison

14. "Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."
- Christian D. Larson

15. "I just realized this week that I can not do it all, so I will do what I can fabulously."
- Clinton Kelly

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
