I often look to quotes and literature whenever I'm going through a rough time. Whether it's a breakup, making a bad grade, stressing over money, or any other issue, literature has so much insight to offer.

I've compiled 20 quotes that have helped me see the light in a dark place, hopefully they offer some help to you as well.

​1. Roman Payne, The Wanderess

"She was free in her wildness. She was a wanderess, a drop of free water. She belonged to no man and to no city" ―

2.  Ariana Dancu

"She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the Universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings."

3. C. JoyBell C.

"I believe in strong women. I believe in the woman who is able to stand up for herself. I believe in the woman who doesn't need to hide behind her husband's back. I believe that if you have problems, as a woman you deal with them, you don't play victim, you don't make yourself look pitiful, you don't point fingers. You stand and you deal. You face the world with a head held high and you carry the universe in your heart." ―

4. Jennifer Donnelly, Revolution

"For mad I may be, but I will never be convenient."

5. Nikki Rowe

"No one knows what you have been through or what your pretty little eyes have seen, but I can reassure you ~ whatever you have conquered, it shines through your mind."

6. Ellen J. Barrier, How to Trust God When All Other Resources Have Failed

"A strong woman builds her own world. She is one who is wise enough to know that it will attract the man she will gladly share it with."

7. Nikki Rowe

"You can love her with everything you have and she still wont belong to you. She will run wild with you, beside you with everystep but let me tell you something about women who run with wolves, their fierce hearts dont settle between walls and their instinct is stronger than upbringing. Love her wild or leave her there."

8. Janice Trachtman, Catching What Life Throws at You: Inspiring True Stories of Healing

"Everything is within your power, and your power is within you."

9. Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

"I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will."

10. Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

"There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me." ― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

11. Madonna

"I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay."

12. Coco Chanel, The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World's Most Elegant Woman

"A girl should be two things: who and what she wants."

13. Hillary Clinton

"Take criticism seriously, but not personally. If there is truth or merit in the criticism, try to learn from it. Otherwise, let it roll right off you."

14. Rupi Kaur, Milk and Honey

"do not look for healing at the feet of those who broke you"

15. Horacio Jones

"Instead of saying, "I'm damaged, I'm broken, I have trust issues" say "I'm healing, I'm rediscovering myself, I'm starting over."

16. Chris Pepple, Without a Voice

"Stop looking for that person you were in the past. She has changed. Look for the person she has grown into. She is wiser and stronger than than ever before. Don't go back to who you were. Cherish who you are."

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
