I Asked People What Piece of Advice They Would Tell Their Younger Selves–Get Ready To Be Inspired

Sometimes life can be extremely overwhelming. You feel stuck, exhausted, and just downright beaten up by life. You think things might not get better. It's hard to see past today's difficulties, isn't it?

I asked a bunch of people if they could give their younger selves a piece of advice that they wish they could have heard when they were going through those tough times.

Here's what a few of them said:

"There will be times in college where everything seems impossible, but you will make it."

"Don't dwell on what people think of you. It's not worth it at the end of the day."

"Do not let others tell you who you really are. Don't let them dictate your happiness."

"Don't be so afraid of trying to please everyone. Remember your needs are just as important."

"Your fitness journey is your own. Stop comparing yourself to those next to you!"

"It is better to be alone than to settle for someone who is making you unhappy."

"Don't worry about dating. Make sure you are comfortable with who you are. Everything else will follow."

"'Luminous beings are we, not this crude matters.'"

"Don't internalize what other people believe you can or cannot do. You are capable of doing anything your heart desires."

"Stop comparing yourself to other people. Just be you."

"Don't stress over things you can't control!"

"Be patient and persistent."

"Everything is going to be just fine :)."


Everything truly is going to be just fine. I hope these people's words of advice may inspire you today and every day forward.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.
