F. Scott Fitzgerald: a writer who didn't have much success, but is known as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. As an aspiring writer, Fitzgerald is someone who I greatly look up to.

Fitzgerald writes in a way that makes the reader both fall in love and be heartbroken all at once; how every writer knows they've created an amazing story.

There are 25 quotes from his collection of short stories and novels that will awaken and inspire the writer in all of us.

1. "You'll understand why storms are named after people."

2. "And in the end, we were all just humans.. drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness."

3. "Suddenly she realized that what she was regretting was not the lost past but the lost future, not what had been but what would never be."

4. "Their lips brushed like young wildflowers in the wind."

5. "We can't let such an inevitable thing as death stand in the way of enjoying life while we have it."

6. "I love her and that's the beginning and end of everything."

7. "Angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, I turned away."

8. "Breathing dreams like air."

9. "I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self-respect."

10. "I wanted to know you moved and breathed in the same world with me."

11. "You are mysterious. I love you. You're beautiful, intelligent, and virtuous, and that's the rarest known combination."

12. "You have a place in my heart that no one could ever have."

13. "Here's to alcohol, the rose colored glasses of life."

14. "There are all types of love in this world but never the same love twice."

15. "You know I'm old in some ways—in others—well, I'm just a little girl. I like sunshine and pretty things and cheerfulness—and I dread responsibilities."

16. "Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."

17. "You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known—and even that is an understatement."

18. "I wish I'd done everything on earth with you."

19. "I don't want to repeat my innocence. I want the pleasure of losing it again."

20. "I used to build dreams about you."

21. "She wanted to crawl into his pocket and be safe forever."

22. "You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say."

23. "Hard to sit here and be close to you, and not kiss you."

24. "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

25. "I hope you live a life you're proud of. And if you find that you are not, I hope that you have the strength to start all over again."

My personal favorite.

F. Scott Fitzgerald has the incredible ability to make his readers want to get on their computer or grab a pencil and paper and write. His ability to make a reader fall in love and want to cry all in the same sentence reminds me of why I want to be a writer. Maybe after reading his quotes, you'll divulge into one of his amazing books and become a writer yourself.

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
