Everyone needs a pick-me-up every now and then. If you're having a rough day or a rough week, any one of these quotes should help you lift your spirits and get through the obstacle you may be facing. Remember, it's a bad day, not a bad life!

1. "Always remember that you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you had ever imagined." - A.A. Milne

Give yourself some credit! Pat yourself on the back for everything you've accomplished so far! Don't forget to love yourself.

2. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step." - Lao Tzu

Take it one step at a time. Strive for progress, not perfection. Everything will fall into place with a little bit of hard work, patience and faith!

3. "No one has the power to make you feel inferior without your own consent." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Fear is merely a state of mind. As long as you believe in your abilities, you can achieve anything! Don't let anyone or anything stop you from chasing your dreams and living the life you've always imagined.

4. "Accept what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be." - Sonia Ricotti

Today is a gift. That's why they call it the present. Dwelling on the past will only hold you back. Take on the day with a positive attitude and keep your head up. The best is yet to come.

5. "Never take life too seriously. No one makes it out alive anyway." - Elbert Hubbard

Don't sweat the small stuff. Your problems are never as big as they seem in the moment. Don't hold grudges. Hold onto the people you love instead. Laugh, take too many pictures and eat the dessert. Life is too short to overcomplicate every little detail.

6. "Don't dilute yourself for any person or for any reason. You are enough. Be unapologetically you." - Dr. Steve Maraboli

You may not know it yet, but you have the power to change someone's life for the better. The only way to truly connect with others is to show the world who you truly are. So don't be afraid to express yourself. Embrace your beautiful flaws, everyone has them. Remember what makes you different is what makes you beautiful.

7. "Stop worrying about what you have to lose and start focusing on what you have to gain." - Unknown

Be fearless. Take risks. The only regrets that we have in our lives are the chances we didn't take.

8. "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success." - Albert Schweitzer

If you do what you love you will always be successful. Money shouldn't dictate your career path. Count your blessings, not your burdens. Don't let work control your life. Always remember to tell your loved ones that you love them and spend time with them as often as you can. Family and friends are the true key to happiness and success.

9. "I'm a great believer in luck and the harder I work, the more I have of it." - Thomas Jefferson

Chase after your wildest dreams without ceasing. Create your own luck. You won't get anywhere without a little hard work, but always remember to find balance. Work hard, but play hard too.

10. "The world is a book and those who do not travel only read one page." - St. Augustine

Those who always stay in one place lack perspective and insight. They only have one point of view. Go on road trips, backpack around Europe and cruise deep waters. Find somewhere on the map that you're interested in and go. You'll find yourself in the journey and leave a little piece of you wherever you may go.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
