17 Quotes To Live By

Life can be incredibly difficult at times, especially on the really bad days. It's on those bad days, the days where you can't find a reason to keep trying, that you want to call it quits and give up. No day is ever the day to give up. On these days, refer to the following quotes as a small reminder to be yourself and to keep going.

1. "Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced." ~Soren Kierkegaard

2. "Getting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward." ~C.S. Lewis

4. "Live in such a way that if someone spoke badly of you, no one would believe it." ~Unknown

5. "Nothing can dim the light that shines from within." ~Maya Angelou

6. "Don't look back. You're not going that way." ~Unknown

7. "The greater the storm the brighter the rainbow." ~Unknown

8. "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist." ~Oscar Wilde

9. "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." ~Walt Disney

10. "If "Plan A" doesn't work, the alphabet has 25 more letters." ~Unknown

11. "Maybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt because it matters." ~John Green

12. "The temptation to quit will be the greatest just before you are about to succeed." ~Chinese Proverb

13. "It always seems impossible until it's done." ~Unknown

14. "Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." ~Oprah Winfrey

15. "Every flower must grow through dirt." ~Unknown

16. "Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be." ~Rick Warren

17. "If you always put a limit on everything you do, physical or anything else it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." ~Bruce Lee.

As Shia LaBeouf would say, "Don't let your dreams be dreams!"

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
