Quotes From 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' To Remind You 'You Are Infinite'
Summit Entertainment

If you have read the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," you probably agree that Stephen Chbosky's words spoke to you. Perhaps, you too, are a bookworm and thrive off of phrases that someone else said, but you could not have thought it anymore to be true than if you were to say it yourself. Perhaps I am not the only one that finds it hard to stop re-reading my favorite book. However, my favorite book tends to be the last one I read. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" helped me feel connected at one point in my life — like there is someone else out there that has the same thoughts that I do. I hope these quotes help you feel something; and, if they don't, I hope you read until you find that one book that helps you feel unity.

“So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.”

“So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.”

“I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.”

“Why do I and everyone I love pick people who treat us like we're nothing"

"We accept the love we think we deserve”

“She wasn't bitter. She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time ”

“And I guess I realized at that moment that I really did love her. Because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter.”

"Because I know there are people who say all these things don’t happen. And there are people who forget what it’s like to be sixteen when they turn seventeen. I know these will all be stories someday, and our pictures will become old photographs. We all become somebody’s mom or dad. But right now, these moments are not stories. This is happening. I am here, and I am looking at her. And she is so beautiful. I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You are alive. And you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song, and that drive with the people who you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.”

“I just want you to know that you’re very special... and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

I hope you live every day to the fullest and always know that you are infinite.

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.
