23 Quotes For Self-Empowerment
Singular Soul

1. "Everything is happening all the time, but if you don't put yourself in the path of it, you miss it." --Gayle Forman Just One Day

2. "You do have a story inside you; it lies articulate and waiting to be written--behind your silence and your suffering." --Anne Rice

3. "You've got to fight for what you believe in. If you don't try, you'll always wonder, and that's a horrible way to live." --Joan Jett

4. "Everybody feels these moments of sadness and moments of loss, and sometimes I think everybody can relate to sitting alone and feeling like crap and a friend of yours comes up and starts like, 'Come on, feel happy,' and you don't want that. Sometimes it's alright to let yourself live in a moment and let yourself be upset about something and so that you can show yourself that regardless of how low you feel, you can always rise out of it, but not in that moment. And so the song just ends with the lyric, 'I believe we all fall down,' but I don't say 'but we get back up'. It's just, sometimes you fall down and sometimes you feel low, and that's okay." --Andy Biersack about "Lost It All"

11. "So many people are shut up tight inside themselves like boxes, yet they would open up quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them." --Sylvia Plath

12.

13. "As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken, probably more than once, and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts, too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt, because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back." --Andy Biersack

14. "The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much and forgetting that you are special, too." --Ernest Hemingway

19. "Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come. Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won, and all the fears you have overcome." --Anonymous

20. "Because we do not know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. And yet everything happens only a certain number of times. And a very small number, really." --Brandon Lee

21. "Do one thing every day that scares you." --Eleanor Roosevelt

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. 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.

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?
