Odyssey

These are the best years of our lives, or so they say...but being 20-something in 2017 isn't always easy. Here are eleven quotes I think everyone in their twenties need to read at least once!

1. Mandy Hale

"Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong."

2. Zulu Proverb

"He that forgives gains victory."

3. Anonymous

4. Nathan W. Morris

"Edit your life frequently and ruthlessly. It's your masterpiece after all."

5. Ritu Ghatourey

"Your age doesn't define your maturity, your grades don't define your intellect, and rumors don't define who you are."

6. Unknown

"Be real, be yourself, be unique, be true, be honest, be humble, be happy."

7. Alan Watts

8. Michelle K

"You have more to do than be weighed down by pretty or beautiful. You are a fiery heart and a wicked brain. Do not let your soul be defined by its shell."

9. Glennon Melton

"That's how you can tell you're filling yourself with the wrong things. You use a lot of energy, and in the end, you feel emptier and less comfortable than ever."

10. Osho

11. Charlotte Eriksson

"Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You're doing just fine."

Sending you all my love today and always.

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.

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.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
