Life is a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs, even some twist and turns that are completely unexpected. Everyone goes through a time (more than likely, multiple times) that you just can't catch a break. You may feel like it is just one thing after another and you're giving up hope. Although

How you handle these dark times and how you let them impact you brings out your true character. You can let the negativity get to you, or you can fight back. The choice is up to you. But if you choose to fight, just know everything will not get better overnight. Little steps are necessary to get things back to the way you would like.

No matter what your scenario may be, a little positive affirmation is always encouraging to keep moving on.

Here are five inspirational quotes to give you the motivation to power through the rough times.

1. "I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together" -Marilyn Monroe

"Everything happens for a reason" is my personal motto in life. Yes, it is cheesy and so cliche, but if you think about it, everything DOES happen for some sort of reason - it may be bad at the moment, but some good will come eventually. Just be patient.

2. "Sometimes you face difficulties not because you are doing something wrong, but because you are doing something right" -Joel Osteen

Just because things aren't going the way you expect them to, that doesn't mean you should blame yourself or put yourself down. The unexpected may have been a blessing down the road.

3. "Don't cry because it is over. Smile because it happened" -Dr. Seuss

Not everything can last forever, so when it's time for a new stage in life, think back about everything - the good and bad - and take notes on the good and learn from the bad. Appreciate the memories made, and make the next even better.

4. "Create your own sunshine" -Unknown

Short and sweet. In the end, you must be able to make yourself happy and love yourself in order to create the life you have always wanted.

5. "Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that makes you smile" -Mark Twain

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.
