8 Quotes From Walt Disney Every College Student Should Read
Christi Schuster

There are many quotes out there that can inspire you, but one man in particular combines motivation with youthfulness, which is something we can all relate to. For whatever reason, quotes from Walt Disney are much more than a few words he put together.

College students can read them, find that little bit of Disney magic in them, and get new motivation out of them. If you find yourself stuck working towards your next goal, or trying to figure out your next move, here are some quotes from Walt Disney that may help inspire you.

1. "Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever." -Walt Disney

As college students, we often feel the pressure to have everything figured out. We are made to feel like there is no time to find the "right path." It doesn't matter how old we are, or how fast we accomplish a certain goal, there is still time to dream.

2. "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." -Walt Disney

It's easy to think of a list of things you want to do. So, what's holding you back? Go for them. Take a chance.

3. "If you can dream it, you can do it." -Walt Disney

This is probably one of Walt Disney's most memorable quotes. He dreamed up Disneyland, and then created it. If that's not inspiring then I don't know what is.

4. "First, think. Second, believe. Third, dream. And finally, dare." -Walt Disney

Come up with an idea, believe that it can happen, plan, and then start accomplishing it. Don't wait around. The fact that you thought of something and you are still thinking about it is a sign that you should pursue it.

5. "Why worry? If you've done the best you can, worrying won't make it any better." -Walt Disney

College students are often reminded of how we could do better. It may sometimes seem like even your best isn't good enough. Every now and then it is important to take a step back and look at all the things you've done. Give yourself a pat on the back. Now keep hustlin'!

6. "That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up." -Walt Disney

Thankfully, we have our friends to constantly remind us that it's okay to take a break from school work. It seems like the real trick here is to remember to be a little kid every once in a while. How about a trip to Disneyland?

7. "The difference in winning and losing is most often... not quitting." -Walt Disney

Fall five times, get up six. Failure is sometimes inevitable, but with every failure you learn something. If you are determined to accomplish a goal, you will get there. Give it time. And remember... don't quit!

8. "The way to get started is to quit talking and start doing." -Walt Disney

It's easy to say, "I'm going to stay on top of all my school work this semester." All college students say it to themselves, and for the first few weeks we stick to it. As soon as the big assignments start rolling in, it gets harder and harder to keep up. Before you know it you are starting an essay the day before it's do. Just start. If Walt procrastinated, we probably wouldn't have Disney.

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.
