The Wait for Winter Break Is Excruciating So Here Are 13 Quotes to Motivate You For Finals

We are almost done but not quite and it is so frustrating to be so close yet so far to freedom.

Especially when this year's Thanksgiving break was so close to finals that it seemed like it was already winter break but now that we are back in grind mode, there is nothing to do but suck it up and carry on.

To help you (and myself), this is a list of motivational quotes that should get all of us through our final few weeks of school.

1. “If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But 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

2. “Patient perseverance is well doing is infinitely harder than a sudden and impulsive self-sacrifice.” – Horace Mann

3. “The only failure is not to try.” -George Clooney

4. “The greatest test of courage on Earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.” -Robert Green Ingersoll

5. “Success is sweet. And sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.” -Amos Bronson Alcott

6. “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” -Thomas A.Edison

7. “Don’t be discouraged. It’s often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock.” – Author Unknown

8. “A bend in the road is not the end of the road…Unless you fail to make the turn.” – Helen Keller

9. “Courage is not having the strength to go on; it is going on when you don’t have the strength.” ― Teddy Roosevelt

10. “If you know something will eventually come to an end, you can handle it.”― Karen Harrington

11.  “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” -Confucius

12. “Every time you stay out late; every time you sleep in; every time you miss a workout; every time you don’t give 100% – You make it that much easier for me to beat you.”– Unknown

13. “Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.” -Louis D.Brandeis

I hope these quotes reminded you why you are here in college and trying your best for your future.

Good luck with finals!

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.
