5 Quotes That Accurately Depict Being In College

In This Article:

College is such an interesting time. You are in class most likely for less hours per week than you were in high school. Yet, despite this, it seems you have more to do than ever before. All the time you thought you had seems to rapidly disappear. Here are five quotes from celebrities as well as TV characters that are quite accurate when it comes to college.

"The most useful thing I've learned in college so far is how to quiet my breathing so no one realizes how much I struggle walking up a flight of stairs" -Unknown

Seriously. There are stairs everywhere. You may decide to be "active" and opt for the stairs instead of the elevator. However, after several flights and coming from outside, especially in the heat of August, you may regret your decision.

"Nothing good happens after 2:00 am… when 2:00 am rolls around, just go home and go to sleep.— Ted Mosby, How I Met Your Mother

There are fun nights that do happen where nights turn into early morning, but when it is a school night like Ted Mosby said it is time to go home!

College inspired me to think differently. It’s like no other time in your life.– Larisa Oleynik

College is most people's first time in an environment that resembles the real world. Have fun, make memories, take the time to learn your true interests and more about them.

The future is scary but you can't just run back to the past because it's familiar.— Robin Scherbatsky, How I Met Your Mother

College is a time of new beginnings and adjustments. Everyone does not and will not adapt at the same pace. However, even if you are struggling to adapt know that you can and you will. College has the potential to change your life but only if you stick around to get yourself used to it.

"Do not be afraid to ask for help. Nobody gets through college on their own."– Michelle Obama

I am ending on a more serious note. College is so different than what you have experienced in life thus far. Make sure to have people that can help you through it. It does not matter if it is family, friends, or trained professionals, know who you can talk to in confidence and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

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.

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.
