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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
