15 Best Quotes From Jen Sincero's "You Are A BADASS"
Jen Sincero

If a friend of yours approached you and told you that "You are a badass," would you believe it? Would you take the compliment and run with it, or would you flat up deny it and say "no no, yeah right"?

Do you ever feel as if you have no control of your life? Your future? Do you worry that you are not living up to your greatest potential? Or are you thinking to yourself right now that these questions are a bit overdramatic, and all you really need is a boost in confidence? Some uplifting words don't hurt?

Jen Sincero's New York Time's Bestselling novel "You are a BADASS" is a must-read for all of us. Her words shine a light on to thoughts that go through our minds daily and offers solutions on how to approach life obstacles that come our way. Sincero describes realistic scenarios and gives real-life examples, allowing for the reader to truly picture themselves throughout the context. The next fifteen quotes are some of my favorites and I hope they persuade you to read the book in its entirety. It's a dose of inspiration at your fingertips.

1. "Most people are living in an illusion based on someone else's beliefs."

2. "The Universe will match whatever vibration you put out. And you can't fool The Universe."

3. "Watching someone else totally go for it can be incredibly upsetting to the person who's spent a lifetime building a solid case for why they themselves can't." 4."The Big Snooze will do everything it can to stop you from changing and growing, especially since you're attempting to obliterate the very identity that you and everyone else has come to know as "you".

5. "Our fantasies are our realities in an excuse-free world".

6. "You have to change your thinking first, and then the evidence appears. Our big mistake is that we do it the other way around. We demand to see the evidence before we believe it to be true".

7. “Your job isn’t to know the how, it’s to know the what and to be open to discovering, and receiving, the how.”

8. “There’s nothing as unstoppable as a freight train full of fuck-yeah.”

9. “Our entire experience on this planet is determined by how we choose to perceive our reality.”

10. “Going out into the world and trying, yet still deep-down believing that you’re ruled by your past circumstances, is like forgiving someone but still hoping they sit in something wet.”

11. “Because so often when we say we’re unqualified for something, what we’re really saying is that we’re too scared to try it, not that we can’t do it.”

12. “If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If you’re not, you’ll find an excuse.”

13. “The people you surround yourself with are excellent mirrors for who you are and how much, or how little, you love yourself.”

14. “The only failure is quitting. Everything else is just gathering information.”

15. “Your faith in The Universe must be stronger than your fear of not getting what you want.”

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
