Every once in a while I find myself scrolling through Pinterest when I feel down and need a little pick me up. Quotes often make me feel empowered and motivate me to not only become a better version of myself, but also lift me up when I need it the most. Some people, like myself, need some words of encouragement in order to keep going so here are some of my favorite quotes that make me feel empowered.

Grateful

"Think about where you were last year. Think about the things that used to worry you so much that no longer consume your mind and time: the relationship that wasn't healthy, the stress of what this year would be like, the things you never thought you would accomplish but did… all of those things are worthy being grateful for, and are beautiful reminders that you are going to be okay." -Morgan Harper Nichols

Determination

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
