10 Bob Ross Quotes To Help You Paint Your Best Life

This past semester my friends and I have come up with a new tradition, painting with Bob Ross. At least once a month we gather together with our $1 acrylic paints, our paper plates we use as canvases, and our paintbrushes. Although our creations may not always come out looking like they should, the experience is fun and somewhat uplifting. Why? Well, because of Bob narration of course! While he paints, Bob often said many things that can strike a chord with everyday people. Quotes about simply enjoying the process of painting can be applied in a way to reflect on your life.

“Anything that you're willing to practice, you can do.”

“I guess I’m a little weird. I like to talk to trees and animals. That’s okay though; I have more fun than most people.”

“The secret to doing anything is believing that you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do. Anything. As long as you believe.”

“I believe talent is just a pursued interest. Anybody can do what I do.”

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.
