It is halfway through the semester and most students (such as myself) are in that mid-semester slump. Midterms are coming up, projects have been assigned and papers are due by a deadline that is coming up sooner than later. With all of this to do, I still find a way to watch one more episode of "Jane The Virgin" on Netflix. Whether you are having a stressful week or just can't find the motivation to go to class, here are some quotes that will put some pep in your step.

1.

You don't have to be a religious person to see that everything happens for a reason

2.

It can be something as small as the weather is nice or the sun came out today! It may be hard to find at times but it makes a world of difference on your day.

3.

To those college kids that have taken more than four years to get to where you want to go, you should be proud of yourself. Continue your determination and hard work.

4.

Just a reminder

5.

With a heavy course load this semester along with clubs and activities I am involved in on campus, there is just not enough hours in the day to get it all done. There are late nights when you just want to give up and cry. This quote is for those moments.

6.

Life is about taking risks. Don't be afraid of being vulnerable because you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

7.

Keep reaching for those goals!

8.

You can do this and you can do it well.

9.

Turn to humor when life gets you down

10.

Turn the page. The best is yet to come.

11.

Don't beat yourself up when life gets rough. All you are expected to do is just do your absolute best in life, not to be perfect.

12.

This quote was said by the Broadway actress, Sierra Boggess. Her words go a long way.

13.

For those late nights in the library, you should be proud.

This semester has been very tough for me. But when the going gets tough, I turn to these quotes to pick me up. Then I realize that I am capable and I am doing this because I am wanting to make a career of what I am passionate about. Just think, this semester is just one step closer to starting your future.
