I always read Shel Silverstein growing up. I had his huge white poetry books on my bookshelves just to read whenever I needed a chuckle or some inspiration. Nowadays I go through a thousand emotions in just one hour. What's funny though, is that Shel Silverstein's quotes are so bizarre and out of this world, yet ironically they help me bring me back down to earth and feel a little bit more normal.

There are more opportunities out there than you think.

College teaches you how to think critically in your classes, your career, and life.
It's great to focus on your desired major.
Unless you sleep in.
Better place to study than the dorms.
No thanks, I'm comfortable in sweats.
Why discover yourself when you have plenty of opportunities to create who you want to be?
Also known as "the nerd." This stereotype still sort of exists in college; it’s just harder to spot. This person genuinely likes school and they are good at it because they’re naturally smart and they put in that work.

Photo by Keith Johnston on UnsplashTheir sport takes up a lot of their time, but they love it. Always tryna improve their game and you’re a little jealous because they’re in incredible shape.
They’ve got big plans for the future that may include scrubs, lab coats and hospitals. Also, they either love or hate their organic chemistry class.
You honestly wonder how they have the time to go out the way they do, but you’re impressed and admire them a little... OK, a lot.
They probably did well in Sociology 101 and know how to argue a point. They’re persuasive, witty, and like controversial topics.
Still stuck in the library trying to finish a book that may or may not be for class. Always quoting some story or article they just read, and won’t admit it but they actually like reading and editing your papers.
Usually a super responsible and organized person–I mean, they're in charge of keeping up a good bulletin board and catching people in the wrong. People have mixed feelings about the RA, but they mean well. And they just want you to show up to the floor meeting.
They are amazing at drawing things and are super creative. But they’re always running off to the studio to paint/draw/sculpt.
