Everyone can use some inspiration.

In the world we live in, there is so much negativity that everyone sometimes needs a pick-me-up. There is inspiration seen everywhere that people can use to better themselves. I, for one, aspire to be the best version of myself I can be, and although I will never be perfect, I hope to at least better this world in some way. People should not be living life one day at a time, but rather making the best of this one life they have to live.

1. "Get excited about the little things. About wearing a new outfit for the first time. About Sunday brunches with your best friends. About the new cute guy in your class. About finding an extra dollar in your pocket. About anything that even remotely makes you happy because as you grow up, passions fade and enthusiasm gets mistaken for foolishness. So don't let the grey world stop you from shining."

2. "Remember when were kids and couldn't wait to grow up? What were we thinking?"

3. "Take your life and make it the best story in the world."

4. "Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip."

5. "Life is worth living."

6. "I was quiet, but I was not blind."

7. "In the blink of an eye, everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may never have that chance again."

8. "The prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears and the kindest hearts have felt the most pain."

9. "I've made mistakes in my life. I've let people take advantage of me, and I accepted way less than I deserve. But, I've learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things I can never get back and people who will never be sorry, I'll know better next time and I won't settle for anything less than I deserve."

10. "One day someone is going to hug you so tight that all of your broken pieces will stick back together."

11. "Nothing would be the same if you did not exist."

12. "We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that death will tremble to take us."

13. "She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings."

14. "The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for."

15. "I don't just want to fly. I want to crash into the horizon, and bring the whole sky down with me. I want to shower the earth in a million little stars, strewn with fragments of me."

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
