Spring break is fun and all, for the whole week that it lasts, but it's the weeks after that push us the limit, knowing that summer and freedom are just within our reach. There's going to be days that we feel like giving up, giving in, and just taking a whole lot of naps to avoid all our responsibilities. Sometimes we're going to need a motivational quote, or ten, to get us through the day, week, and the rest of the semester.

1. It always seems impossible until it is done. - Nelson Mandela

2. Don't stay in bed unless you can make money in bed. - George Burns

3. Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears. - Les Brown

4. Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. - Michael Jordan

5. Believe you can and you're halfway there. - Theodore Roosevelt

6. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. - Wayne Gretzky - Michael Scott

7. Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap. - Barbara Jordan

8. Sometimes I forget putting myself first isn't selfish, but necessary. - Anonymous

9. Get'cha head in the game. - Troy Bolton

Hopefully this will get us through the coming weeks, and maybe these words will even give us enough motivation to believe that we will succeed, if only for the time it takes to finish reading them. If all else fails, take a nap and start over again. Every day is a new day.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
