Most of these quotes I have found over the past two years while on Pinterest. They are ones that I now think are so important while experiencing this first year of college.

"Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion" -Michael Jordan

After being here at Mississippi State since Sunday the 12th I can already see such truth in this. It is very easy to not talk to new people in fear that the person is uninterested.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."– Winston Churchill

As I am writing this post classes have yet to start. Who knows if after taking classes in the major I'm starting out in if I will want to continue on that track?

I will instead choose to try something else in hopes of better results

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." -Nelson Mandela

We are here in college for a reason. These next four years at Mississippi State must be used to first further ourselves before we can begin to positively impact others.

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit" - Eric Roth

"No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, you are beautiful" -Michelle Obama
