21 Quotes You Need To Read When You Feel That All Hope Is Lost

This world has so many amazing people, and you are one of them. Everyone has their struggles, some more than others, but you are strong enough to overcome them. You don't have to fight your battles alone. I refuse to imagine a tomorrow without you in it—betters days are ahead.

Here are 21 not-so-common quotes about choosing life that will hopefully encourage you to see another day:

1. "You will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living, breathing, screaming invitation to believe better things."

2. "You've gotten through every bad day you didn't think you could get through."

3. "Your way out of the dark will light the way for others."

4. "The truth is: the space you occupy on this planet is space well-deserved."

5. "There are some days where life is just about putting one foot in front of the other. And that's okay."

6. "We are all in this together, shouting back at the darkness, a little louder each day."

7. "It's okay to be honest and it's okay to ask for help. It's simply part of being human." 

8. "There will certainly be days worse than these. But a beautiful truth remains-- there will be better days, too."

9. "It's possible to live with scars, to feel the same pain you feel right now and to not hurt yourself because of it."

10. "If you're feeling alone, know that the world can be a lonely place. But it would be lonlier without you in it."

11. "Give yourself the opportunity of seeing what a year from now holds.Take a chance on yourself and choose to stay."

12. "I promise you, those thoughts of people not loving you or wanting you be with you are a lie."

13. "Please stay alive. For every future joy. For the next album you're going to love. For the best concert you haven't been to yet. For your wedding or your husband or your wife. For the kids you have or dream of having. Please stay alive to be surprised, by love and hope and help."

14. "You are not the heaviness sitting inside of you. You are not the battlefield where the bodies fall, and you are not the sound of cannons breaking the sky open. You are what happens after the war. The surviving. The healing. The recovering." 

15. "Free yourself from the idea that you aren't worthy of other people's time."

16. "On the days when life pushes me around, I will dig my heels in, reach for my strength, and choose to fight back."

17. "You belong in the light, and you can get there again. Don't believe anyone who tells you differently."

18. "You will shake in your skin. You will be more terrified than you have ever been. But you will be brave, and you will be okay."

19. "But while your heart has been broken and scarred, it is still beating."

20. "So what's next? You heal, you grow, and you help others."

21. "The most important part in recovery is taking the power back and allowing yourself to believe you deserve to win."

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.
