As a college student often times during the week I find myself getting overwhelmed with everything that comes with this lifestyle.

All the homework, studying for tests, writing papers, immature boys, all while trying to maintain a healthy social life. I’ve found that writing a quote every week in my planner has helped so much when dealing with certain situations in my life and when trying to find somewhat of a happier place, reminding me of who I am and what I’m doing it for. I’ve listed a couple of my favorite quotes that I often read when I find myself in different situations.

Hopefully, you’ll find one that can help you in any situation that life throws at you.

1. “Whatever you are, be a good one.” - Abraham Lincoln

3. “To do big things you have to say no to a lot of average things.” -Unknown

4. “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” - Mark Twain

Sometimes it’s so easy to get caught up in all the hustle and bustle of this crazy thing called life, so I hope you remember these things when life gets crazy.
