11 Quotes To Always Remember

Just some inspiration for when times get tough!

Feb 02, 2016

Everyone has those moments when they feel like they have hit rock bottom. When that happens, sometimes it's hard to bounce back. I like to read some of my favorite quotes to remind myself that I really am the person who I know myself to be when I run into situations like that. If you're feeling less than ordinary, read these quotes to remind yourself that you truly are extraordinary!

1. "Never make someone a priority when all that you are to them is an option." - Maya Angelou

You deserve better than that!

2. "Give, but do not allow yourself to be used. Love, but do not allow your heart to be abused. Trust, but don't be naive. Listen to others, but don't lose your own voice." - Unknown

Never forget that you are the most important person in your life.

3. "Your value does not decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth." - Unknown

If they don't see your worth, then you don't need them in your life.

4. "You don't need to waste your time on someone who only wants you around when it fits their needs." - Unknown

That is the last kind of person that you need in your life.

5. "Destiny is for losers. It's just a lame excuse for letting things happen to you instead of making them happen" - Blair Waldorf

Your future is in your hands. Do everything you can to make it wonderful.

6. "In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take" - Unknown

This one is cheesy, I know, but it's actually true. You took a chance and if it didn't work out then that's fine because at least now you know.

7. "One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can't change." - Unknown

Some things can't be changed and that's OK.

8. "Often, it's the deepest pain which empowers you to grow into your highest self." - Unknown

Getting hurt is never fun, but it can lead to something so much better.

9. "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." - Buddha

There's no time like the present!

10. "I think fearless is having fears, but jumping anyway." - Taylor Swift

Be bold and live life fearlessly like Taylor Swift.

11. "I'm not a stop along the way. I'm a destination." - Blair Waldorf

All hail Queen B, this girl just gets it.

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
