The beginning of a new semester; the time for excitement, stress, and new adventures. For freshman it is always the same, you start wide-eyed and excited, maybe even a little nervous. For upperclassmen, we can be excited to see our friends after a long summer, however, we quickly become stressed thinking about the upcoming course load. In times of stress and nervousness we need to remember that we can get through another semester of college.
Sometimes we just need an encouraging word, or even a couple. An inspiring quote may be the motivational push you have been seeking for this semester.
