5 Quotes For Navigating Life
Dan Duff Photography

50 Cent once said "life is full of twists and turns". Here are five quotes to help you navigate through it all.

1. Everyone has their own unique journey.

"Stop comparing where you’re at with where everyone else is. It doesn’t move you farther ahead, improve your situation, or help you find peace. It just feeds your shame, fuels your feelings of inadequacy, and ultimately, it keeps you stuck. The reality is that there is no one correct path in life. Everyone has their own unique journey." - Daniell Koepke

2. "Self care is not selfish."

It's not. It never will be. Taking time out of the day to care for yourself can be both lifesaving and life-changing. As days progress, with news headlines getting more and more horrific, it's easy for one's mental health to deteriorate. Taking in so much toxicity can dampen one's spirit and alter their emotions. Take time FOR you. Care for your thoughts. Care for your health. It isn't selfish. It's a necessity.

3. "Focus on you, your goals. "

Comparison can prove to be a huge roadblock when navigating through life. If you let it consume you may find yourself into a couple of accidents. Avoid this by focusing on yourself and your goals. Just watch how much easier the ride will get.

4. "Be a better you."

"Be a better you, for you." - Sonya Teclai

When feeling alone but passionate about a decision, follow your heart and just do. While family and friends are vitally important, ourselves are who we'll always have. Be a better you, for you. Don't let anyone dictate how you go about bettering yourself. A better you makes for smooth navigation.

Finally, here's a bit of motivation for your the rest of your journey. Stay positive, stay inspired. Life will throw you curve balls. Some may knock you off the path. Others may increase your travel time. Regardless, it's up to you to create the best navigational guide for yourself. You've got this

5. "May the space between where I am and where I want to be inspire me." - Tracee Ellis Ross

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
