As we get closer to the holidays or close to finals, it's easy to get stressed and feel hopeless. We often get caught up in all the craziness and it can lead to lost motivation. Sometimes you just need a little something to help motivate you and remind you why you are where you are. These inspirational quotes have helped me get through some of the hardest times, and I hope they can help you, too!

Evading fear

It's easy to get scared of what the future holds, but I can definitely say I'm thankful for everything that has happened to me, good or bad because it has brought me to where I am today.

Improving yourself

It can also be easy to focus on what other people are doing and we often feel like we should be better than others. The best way to improve yourself is to focus on yourself and being a better you.

Don't stop

Don't focus on how quickly you can accomplish your goals. It is important to remember that everyone is in different places in their life, and what's important is that you keep working hard.

Overcoming obstacles

This one is pretty self-explanatory, but nothing worth while is easily accomplished.

Your reactions matter

This quote is definitely one of my favorites. It can be easy to feel like the world is against you, but you have to remember that it's more important how you react to situations. Always try to stay positive because life is what you make it.

Perseverance

Never give up! Something may seem difficult, but you just have to keep working for it.

Positivity

Especially when nothing seems to be going right, you need to remember the things you can be thankful for and know it will get better.

Find beauty in everything

I know I can personally be guilty of looking for a beautiful place, especially when the weather gets colder. You will never be truly happy if you're always focused on getting away. Make the life you live a life you don't need to escape from.

Make an impact

Most people have heard this quote, but I had to include it because it's easy to forget. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to not let other people change who you are. It's also important to make an impact on the world, and spreading happiness is an easy way to do so!

Stay appreciative and optimistic

The best thing that will help you be optimistic and stay motivated is to be thankful. Be thankful for things that have brought you to where you are today, but let go of the negative. Be thankful for everything you do have today. Be thankful for the opportunities you are given. Staying positive will give you the best results in life!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
