Break-ups. They're the worst. Whether it was your idea or not, they still hurt. Regardless of the logistics of your break-up, if it is a small break or an indefinite break, here are 15 quotes that will help you through it.

1. “Just because a relationship ends, it doesn’t mean it’s not worth having.” – Sarah Mlynowski
2. “Sometimes we must undergo hardships, breakups, and narcissistic wounds, which shatter the flattering image that we had of ourselves, in order to discover two truths: that we are not who we thought we were; and that the loss of a cherished pleasure is not necessarily the loss of true happiness and well-being.” – Jean-Yves Leloup
3. “You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.” – Mary Pickford
4. “Hearts live by being wounded.” – Oscar Wilde
5. “I love to shop after a bad relationship. I don’t know. I buy a new outfit and it makes me feel better. It just does. Sometimes I see a really great outfit, I’ll break up with someone on purpose.” – Rita Rudner
6. “Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.” – Candace Bushnell
7. “One day they’ll realize they lost a diamond while playing with worthless stones.” - Turcois Ominek
8. “Never love anybody that treats you like you’re ordinary.” - Oscar Wilde
9. “We must be willing to let go of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” - Joseph Campbell
10. "Know that I kept it sexy and know I kept it fun. There’s something that I’m missing maybe my head for one. It’s such a shame, you let this good love go to waste." - Beyoncé
11. “Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love. But rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along.” - Anonymous
12. “Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart.” - Washington Irving
13. “When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” - Alexander Graham Bell
14. “Letting go doesn’t mean that you don’t care about someone anymore. It’s just realizing that the only person you really have control over is yourself.” - Deborah Reber
15. “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” - Eleanor Roosevelt

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
