8 Amy Poehler Quotes For The Youth

Hey "The Youth.’ How is it going? Good? Bad? Ugly? Whatever the answer is, Amy Poehler seems to know what's up. She is known for making people laugh, but who knew that she was so great and well rounded about life? I did, but I pulled just a few of my favorite Amy Poehler quotes out to really make her glow. Because she should glow she is so cool.

“You deserve love and you'll get it.”

Ladies and gentlemen, never settle. It is silly, and will make you feel lonely and unhappy, so why do we do it? Maybe we feel like this is the best we can do.Well Amy is here to tell you that is simply not true. For those impatient people out there, wait it out. Because we are worth it and we deserve good quality love, thanks Amy.

“The earlier you learn that you should focus on what you have, and not obsess about what you don't have, the happier you will be.”

The common human is such a jealous person. I find myself thinking more often than not about how I wish I had that dress, or that life style or that $52 steak at the table over, but that is not how life works. So why get so grumpy about it? Amy, you are the next political and religious figure if you keep this up.

“I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading.”

To all you lady leaders out there, and literally everyone else I recommend reading YES PLEASE by the delicious Amy Poehler. It is a work of art. But specifically to our fearless women in power, don’t let people get in your way because they think you are weak. You are determined and driven for (hopefully) a good reason, there is no room to feel belittled now.

“I cannot stress enough that the answer to life's questions is often in people's faces. Try putting your iPhones down once in a while, and look in people's faces. People's faces will tell you amazing things. Like if they are angry, or nauseous or asleep.”

This one hits home for a lot of us. The next time you are in public look around and see how many people are seen walking, sitting, even talking with other people with their phones out. Amy says we should put it down, so lets put it down and make her proud. Also we could genuinely learn from others when we aren’t constantly distracted. Amy you dog you, you think of everything!

“I've always dreamed of growing up to be Amy Poehler.”

Be yourself. Yes. Good. Don’t try to be the next somebody, because that will never happen and you are setting yourself up for failure and you will amount to nothing. Amy insinuated it, not me. But seriously, just do you.

“Always remember your kid's name. Always remember where you put your kid. Don't let your kid drive until their feet can reach the pedals. Use the right size diapers... for yourself. And, when in doubt, make funny faces.”

Hahahahahahahahaha. This is so funny but also so true. She is so great.

“Some people get in the way of change happening.”

Another quick quote to also help this quote out...

“What doesn’t challenge you won’t change you.”

Maybe Amy has said this in her life, maybe she hasn’t but it is relevant always. Maybe it is a somebody instead of a something that is no longer challenging you to be the best you can be, and if so maybe it is time to move on. As people, we are constantly growing and changing and it is pretty good to challenge yourself, otherwise you will never change. Who wants that? Amy you rock never change.

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.
