21 Quotes Every Stressed College Student Should Read
Emily Mattice

As the second semester is coming to an end, stress is at an all-time high for most college students. In honor of being stressed out, here are some inspirational quotes that may be beneficial to you in this time of distress.

1. "Ask yourself if what you're doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be."

2. "No matter how you feel.. get up. Dress up. Show up. And never give up."

3. "Drink some coffee and pretend you know what you're doing."

4. "Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."

5. "Save the excuses. It's not about "having" time. It's about making time. If it matters, you will make time."

6. "Everyone you will ever meet know something you don't."

7. "You're only human. You don't have to have it together every minute of every day."

8. "A year from now everything you're stressing about won't even matter."


9. "Don't forget that you're human. It's okay to have a meltdown. Just don't unpack and live there. Cry it out and then refocus on where you are headed."

10. "Stressing and complaining will change nothing. Take action, make a change, and never look back."

11. "Don't let a bad day make you feel like you have a bad life."

12. "You don't always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breath, let go and see what happens."

13. "And sometimes, life is just hard, and some days are just rough... and sometimes you just gotta cry before you can move forward... (and all of that is ok)."


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

15. "Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change."

16. "Take pride in how far you have come and have faith in how far you can go."

17. "Remember that the reason you're doing this is to make your life better."

18. "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing."

19. "Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway."

20."Note to self: You gotta do this for you. This is for you. This isn't about anybody. Live for you. Honor you. Never lose sight of that."

21."The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

I hope that these quotes helped you as much as they helped me. Just remember, only a couple more weeks are left of the second semester and then it's summer! We got this!

However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
