1. The Student That Chose Their Major For The Wrong Reasons

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”

-Mitch Albom, "Tuesday's with Morrie"

Do not live for someone else. Whether it's your parents, teachers, friends, etc. Choose a life you love to live; afterall, it is yours.


2. The Student That Doubts Them-self Because Of Their Past

“So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.”

-Stephen Chbosky, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"

You cannot rewind the past, but you can create your own future. Do not let where you came from affect where you are going.


3. The Student That Is Thinking About Giving Up

"Just When The Caterpillar Thought Its World Was Over, It Turned Into A Beautiful Butterfly"

-Barbara Haines Howett

Tomorrow might be the best day of your life. I hope that you choose to see it.


4. The Student That Needs To Live In The Now

"It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for someday and then quietly and without you really noticing someday is today and then someday is yesterday and this is your life."

-"One Tree Hill"

Revel in every moment. Study and learn; but do not forget to make memories while you are here. One day we will wake up and have a completely different life style and responsibilities that we did not have before. Laugh and cry, but at the end of it all, be able to say you truly lived.


5. The Student That Questions Their Own Worth

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Do not worry about the past, because it is gone. Do not fret about the future, because it is not here. Live everyday knowing your worth and always believe in yourself.

6. All Students

"I just want you to know that you're very special, and the only reason I'm telling you that is because I don't know if anyone else ever has."

Stephen Chbosky, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower"

Every single person on this planet means something to someone. You are unique and beautiful in your own way. I hope I am not the only one that has told you, but if so, I just want you to know that you are very special.

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

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.
