5 Spoonfuls Of Motivation
MotivatePlay

Sometimes all we need is a little motivation to gear us in the right direction. We may not always have a support system. So hopefully as you read this, you can get at least a support that you do got this! Whether it's school related, a job, or anything in general.

Have a spoonful!


1. "In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can" - Nikos Kazantzakis


"I don't know if I can do this. What if something happens?

Many times we doubt ourselves. We lack faith that we can do anything but first is to believe in ourselves. That is so important. If you don't believe in yourself, you are putting yourself into a low self-esteem.

BELIEVE!


2. "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop" - Confucius

Yes, nobody said the road will be easy. You may come across giant boulders, giant cracks on the road, strong winds, rain and etc. Point is, it is not a race to see who gets where first. Always continue, no matter how slow or fast you may be. You got this!




3. "Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later" - Og Mandino


We tend to give minimum effort just to get by. But you are capable of so much more! How much work you put in now, (go above and beyond), I will pay off in the end. You may not see it, but please trust me, you will! Your harvest will be abundant!



4. " Everybody wants to be a diamond, but many are not willing to get cut."

Truth is, we all need to better ourselves. We all have some nasty things about us that we need to get rid of or they will deter us in life. Whether it is our attitudes or our actions or even physically. So that being said we all want to be a diamond, but we have to undergo these changes, being cut in the right ways to make us much more like a diamond.

Sometimes being cut or molded, hurts because it is not something we are used. We can be made fun of. But in the end, you will become something great. Just like pearls. Oysters make pearls in response to irritants. Something beautiful always comes out once we go through changes that we need to make.


5. I CAN and I WILL. END OF STORY


There are no better way to say this.

YOU CAN and YOU WILL!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
