There are some things we are all going to need to hear right before spring break. We need that extra push to not give up. We never truly realize how many quotes from our childhood will keep us going 10 or more years later. We are never too old for a Disney quote.
1. "To Infinity and Beyond."
We're in college, we can go many places. We are supposed to be gaining new experiences, opening new doors and just getting the most out of our experiences.
2. "The very things that hold you down are going to lift you up."
We're either going to let that bad grade weigh us down the entire semester, or make us try harder the next time. It's your choice.
3. "Don't just fly, soar."
If you are going to go and do something, make it worth your while. You have the wings to go places, you may as well put them to good use.
4. "The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique."
Everyone is just trying to find out where they fit in this world. We are all our own person, and college is the perfect time to start being yourself. If somebody does not like it, then that is their own problem, not yours.
5. "Just think of happy thoughts and you'll fly."
A little positivity can go a long way. Are you going to fail that midterm you have coming up? Just think happy thoughts and (maybe) you will ace it!
6. "Remember, you're the one who can fill the world with sunshine."
Someone may be having a bad day and you can change that. Maybe they got a bad grade on a test or their friends haven't been very good friends lately. You have what it takes to make their world sunny again!
7. "Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts."
You will not truly know a person until you get to know them. Don't think you and the girl down the hall will get along? Try talking to her; you might be surprised.
8. "Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?"
We have all started homework, walked to the dining hall, came back to our room, and just not started again. Did you actually forget to start again or did you make that decision? We have all been here!
9. "The past can hurt, but the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it."
We all make mistakes; what we decide to do with the outcomes is what counts.
10. "The human world... It's a mess."
How many times a day do you tell yourself you need to get your life together? A million? Me too!
11. "The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work."
The hours and hours you spend on homework... Yea, it will be worth it... Eventually!
12. "If you're scared, just be scarier than whatever is scaring you."
Nothing should ever hold you back. You have a huge math test next week. You won't have to find X... He'll be scared and come out of hiding.
13. "HAKUNA MATATA- It means NO WORRIES."
Hakuna Matata is the YOLO of 2016.
14. "You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."
You aren't giving yourself enough credit.
15. "Adventure is out there."
Don't keep sitting in your dorm. Go out, make friends and, most importantly, make the most of your college experience.
16. "Just keep swimming."
Things may not go your way all the time, but just keep going. They will get better eventually.
17. "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."
Whether it is leaving your family behind at home, leaving your friends at school or leaving people at a job, it is always a good thing if your goodbye is hard. You are doing something right.
18. "Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten."
Whether it be your family by blood, or your family by choice, don't leave anyone behind. After all, they are all you have.
19. "You just need to believe in yourself."
You have the power to change your day, your year, and your life. Make it happen.
