13 Quotations For The Month Of Rememberance

As part of the Catholic tradition, November is the month of remembrance. Throughout November, we remember and pray for those who have passed away, especially our loved ones. The month begins with All Saints Day and All Souls Day on November 1st and 2nd, respectively. I have always found quotations to be a way of encapsulating emotions and truths I know, but cannot articulate myself. As Gus says in "The Fault in Our Stars," “My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations.” This quotation is one of my favorites because it does a perfect job expressing what cannot be expressed. In honor of the month of remembrance, here are 13 quotations that convey remembrance; they may serve as constellation builders or just simply resonate.

1. "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." -Thomas Campbell

2. "Unable are the loved to die. For love is immortality." -Emily Dickinson

3. "Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven / Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

4. "Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy." -Anonymous

5. "After you are gone, people may forget most of what you have said and done. But they will remember that you loved them." -Steve Goodier

6. "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." -Anonymous

7. "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." -Dr. Suess

8. "It is the capacity to feel consuming grief and pain and despair that also allows me to embrace love and joy and beauty with my whole heart. I must let it all in." -Anna White

9. "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." -Lord Alfred Tennyson

10. "Death— last sleep? No, it is the final awakening." -Walter Scott

11. "For death is no more than a turning over of us from time to eternity." -William Penn


12. "They say that a part of you dies when a special Loved One passes away...I disagree...I say a part of you lives with your Loved One on the other side." -Daniel Yanez

13. "In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on." -Robert Frost

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.
