The 15 Best Emma Watson Quotes
Joachim Stroink

Emma Watson is the true embodiment of beauty, wisdom and grace. She is able to flawlessly pull off being in the public eye and continues to be a true role model. Not only is she a feminist, Brown University graduate and United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, but also an actress. She is flawlessly able to balance all of her responsibilities with poise. Here are a few quotes from her, in honor of her birthday on April 15th.

On Feminism:

1. "When at 15, my girlfriends started dropping out of their beloved sports teams because they didn’t want to appear muscle-y, when at 18, my male friends were unable to express their feelings, I decided that I was a feminist.”
2. "Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do or achieve. Do what you want to do and be who you want to be. Just encourage and include each other, don’t ostracize the gender in front of you."
3. "If men don’t have to be aggressive in order to be accepted, women won’t feel compelled to be submissive. If men don’t have to control, women won’t have to be controlled."
4. “The saddest thing a girl can do is dumb herself down for a guy.”

5. "We [women] really need to support each other, we really do. So, I guess I would say be brave enough to acknowledge that things are not there yet and support each other.”
6. It's not the word [feminism] that it's important. It's the idea and ambition behind it.”

On Beauty:

7. "There’s nothing interesting about looking perfect–you lose the point. You lose the point. You want what you’re wearing to say something about you, about who you are."
8. "I truly, truly believe that beauty comes from within."
9. "It makes me sad to hear girls constantly putting themselves down. We have these unbelievably high expectations of ourselves, when actually we’re human beings and our bodies have a function."
10. "We really damage our own confidence when we put ourselves down, so I try not to."

On Working:

11. "I think that it is very important if you know what you want, understand where you are heading towards, and try your best to get it. It is only when we use our hearts to do it, and fall in love with what we are doing, then can we really get real determination.”
12. “I’ve probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don’t want fear of failure to stop me doing what I really care about.”
13. "All I can do is follow my instincts because I’ll never please everyone.”
14. “I don’t want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.”
15. “There’s nothing wrong with being afraid. It’s not the absence of fear, it’s overcoming it. Sometimes you’ve got to blast through and have faith.”

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.
