At some point, we may need a little motivational, especially during the first few months of college classes. With these motivational quotes, they are designed to inspire you and push you to be the best you can be. Anytime you find yourself needing an extra boost of confidence and kind words, you can always bookmark this page and look back whenever you need to!

1. "Do something now; your future self will thank you later" -Unknown

College is designed with your future in mind. Take this opportunity and take a class, learn a new language, travel abroad, or even eat an apple instead of eating food from the cafeteria.

2. "A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others" - Ayn Rand

You may feel as if you always have to be better than your classmates. This is not true at all. The only way you have to be your best is to be better than yesterday.

3. "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream" - C.S. Lewis

It is not too late to change your majors or set your sight on a different path. You are the master of your own fate.

4. "All of our dreams can come true if we have to courage to pursue them" - Walt Disney

Sometimes having a dream alone can be terrifying. But if you truly believe in it and yourself, there is nothing stopping you!

5. "I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work" - Thomas A. Edison

If at first, you do not succeed, trail and error is part of the learning process. Allow yourself to fail proudly. At least you tried, which is the success in itself.

6. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" - Eleanor Roosevelt

Do not let others tell you what you can or cannot do or make you feel bad for who you are. College is the time to explore the real person that is inside of you.

7. "The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do" - Unknown

If your dream is to learn how to make a difference in your community, country, or the world, never think that your contributions are too small or insignificant.

8. "I am not afraid of storms for I am learning how to sail my ship" - Louisa May Alcott

When times get rough or you are feeling bogged down in work, do not forget that all of this prepares you for what is to come.

9. "The most wasted of days is the one without laughter" - E. E. Cummings

Do not take yourself so seriously. After all, you decided to go to college for all the fun and joy you knew it would bring back.

10. "Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport" - Unknown

College is the best opportunity to put your learning to work by exploring the world. Step outside of campus and discover something new.

11. "What if I fail? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?" - Erin Hanson

You will never know or understand your potential until you let yourself go.

12. "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard?" - A. A. Milne

Make friendships so meaningful that will make your goodbyes during college breaks a challenge.

13. "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm" - Winston Churchill

Smile. Be grateful. Never forget that the journey is not going to be a short one.

14. "Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you greater than any obstacles" - Christian D. Larson

You got this!

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
