15 Quotes for the Struggling College Student
US News

While being a college student is pretty great, I have found that it is also just as stressful. We're half-way through the semester, and if someone doesn't have three papers and a test to study for in every class, then they are lucky. With midterms coming up and fall break just beyond our reach, it can be hard to find the motivation we need to successfully get through the week without having a mental breakdown. So I have searched the deep and dark depths of Pinterest to bring to all you struggling college students some quotes to remember when it fees like you just can't make it to Friday.

1. "The one who falls and gets up is so much stronger than the one who never fell."

2. "Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will."
- Karim Seddiki

3. "If you were able to believe in Santa Claus for like 8 years, you can believe in yourself for like 5 minutes."

4. "You did not wake up today to be mediocre."

5. "A diamond is a chunk of coal that did well under pressure."
- Henry Kissinger

6. "Once upon a time you were a little kid with big dreams that you promised you'd make real one day. Don't disappoint yourself."

7. "Fate whispers to the warrior 'You cannot withstand the storm' and the warrior whispers back, 'I am the storm.'"

8. "No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up, and never give up."

9. "The struggle you're in today, is developing the strength you need for tomorrow."

10. "I'm not telling you it's going to be easy. I'm telling you it's going to be worth it."
- Art Williams

11. "The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem. Do you understand?"
- Captain Jack Sparrow.

12. "Be strong, you never know who you are inspiring.

13. "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time."
- Thomas Edison

14. "Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."
- Christian D. Larson

15. "I just realized this week that I can not do it all, so I will do what I can fabulously."
- Clinton Kelly

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
