As we enter into the 6th week of the semester, I, like many of you, have been overcome with exhaustion and mental drain. We have hit that point in the semester where it feels like we've hardly accomplished anything but we've been here forever and there are still a lot more weeks ahead of us. Here is a list of nine movie quotes to remember when you're trying your best to keep pushing forward:

1. "Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss." - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Remember that college is an opportunity that we are all lucky to have.

2. "Great men are not born great, they grow great." - The Godfather

I like to think of this quote when I'm in a class that I feel like the most inexperienced person in. No one starts out as experts in fields of study, we grow, we learn, and shape ourselves into the best we can be.

3. "I know what I have to do now, I've got to keep breathing because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?" - Cast Away

No matter how hard today was, the sun is still going to rise tomorrow. Who knows what the new day will bring? Just stay positive.

4. "Keep your chin up, someday there will be happiness again." - Robin Hood

When swimming in assignments and due dates, it's hard to see the Brightside. However, this semester will come to an end and we will be free to embrace summer happiness.

5. "No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world." – Dead Poets Society

Never forget that your words and your opinions matter and they're worth being heard.

6. “There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there’s life, there is hope.” – The Theory of Everything

Everything about this quote is beautiful. Always believe in hope, yourself, and your ability to succeed.

7. "Do or Do not. There is no try." – The Empire Strikes Back

An oldie but such a goodie. Make your daily mantra the words of the legendary Jedi master.

8. “Don’t ever let somebody tell you you can’t do something, not even me. Alright? You dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want something, go get it. Period.” – The Pursuit of Happiness

*tears* If you have not seen this movie, find it and watch it. Always strive towards happiness and don't ever let someone keep you from reaching it.

9. “Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim.” – Finding Nemo
