15 Inspirational Quotes To Get You Through Your Day

Call me old fashioned, but I love smelling books. Nothing beats the smell of crinkling yellow pages, seeped with the scent of old tea. Especially when those old pages are filled to the brim with quotes from my dear friends. Google can be an amazing resource when it comes to finding inspirational quotes. All to often, I will google key words and save pictures of quotes that speak to me. Yet, I hold onto that 60 year old librarian inside of me. Every book I read finds its way into my journal. It could be a simple line, or a paragraph that reminded me of a memory or a diagram about the quote I love. Quotes bring me a sense of confidence and life. They have brought me comfort, dared me to challenge my ways of thinking, made me cry and made me laugh. Here are just a few of the ones I hold closest to my heart.

1."You never really understand a person until you climb into their skin and walk around." -Atticus Finch

2. "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." -Dr. Seuss

3. "Words and ideas can change the world." -Dead Poets Society

4. "It's like that with art. You can't tell someone how to do it or its not her art. You can't tell someone how to believe." -Things I Can't Forget

5. Contre tout le monde, je me de fendrai. Je ne capitule pas." -Le Rhinoceros

7. "She is a font de connaissance. A what? A fountain of knowledge." -And We Stay

8. "How can it be that you'll be reading this story that is so sad, it almost hurts to look at the words on the page. What happens to the characters tears your stomach out-and then the book is over. And the first thing you want to do is find another book like that." -The Usual Rules

9. "And whether you win or lose the important thing is who you are when it is over." -The Bridge From Me to You

10. "There is nothing but mystery in the world." -The Secret Life of Bees

11. "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you know." -Winnie the Pooh

12. "Fiction is the truth inside the lie."-Stephan King

13. "Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you." -If I Stay

14. "Some infinites are bigger than other infinites."- The Fault in Our Stars

15. "I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was." -Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiar Children.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

2943

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Barn Pros

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
