We all have those days, those days where we feel as though nothing is going right, those days where we just want to give up. The truth behind those days is that they will get better, the pain will not last forever. This is a concept that today's generation cannot be reminded enough. For that reason alone, I decided to compile a list of 11 quotes that you should read if you feel like giving up.

1. "Your hardest times often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going. Tough situations build strong people in the end.” -Roy T. Bennett

2. "Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about." -Winston Churchill

3. "You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it." -Unknown

4. "I’m stronger because of the hard times, wiser because of my mistakes, and happier because I have known sadness." -Allison Vogel

5. "Be strong, things will get better. It might be stormy now, but rain doesn’t last forever." -Unknown

6. "The best advice I can give to anyone going through a rough patch is to never be afraid to ask for help." -Demi Lovato

7. "You never know how strong you are… until being strong is the only choice you have." -Cayla Mills

8. "You'll not be mistaken if you believe in yourself. If it's difficult now, then you are on the right way."-Unknown

9. "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” -Confucius

10. "There are far, far better things ahead than anything we leave behind." -C. S. Lewis

11. "When it is darkest, we can see the stars." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

You were put on this Earth for a reason, because you are strong enough to live it. When you feel like giving up is your only option, please remember that you are not the only one to feel like this. Talk to someone, get some help. When it rains, it pours, but the rain can't last forever.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
