Relatably

When we were young, when we started school and even now books have come a long way. Even certain quotes tend to be repeated from other people cause those words mean something to people. Here are five quotes I thought were and probably still popular today.

1.

This quote comes from a classic children's book Love You Forever, and is actually a song. The main reason this could be a favorite quote is it could be stuck in your head one day and all you can do is sing it. Another could be you have to tuck your child in at night (or the child you are watching over) and you need a song to help them sleep. This quote may be the one for you.

2.

Everyone knows this classic book from your childhood, James and the Giant Peach. Majority of these quotes may be repeated daily since this book got turned into a movie so many years ago! This quote really gets me because overthinking is a thing for me and probably a lot of you but what this grasshopper tell James is true; no kid can really think of so much reality at once.

3.

If you had to read any recommended book in high school, To Kill A Mockingbird might of been that first book. Every quote from this book may bore you to pieces but they can convoy meaning. This quote can describe anything you want it to but no matter how much high school students dread this book the quotes are powerful in the end.

4.

Another book high school kids probably hated with a passion, Lord of the Flies. However, they read the book for one second and they just want to put it down. Those who actually liked it and thought it made sense, then these quotes were for them. This quote really describes how life is today; you don't know what to expect so you're making it up as you go along. I mean, who doesn't do that now in days?

5.

This might everyone's favorite book that turned into a movie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Most of these quotes were mentioned repeatedly once people saw the movie. Who would blame them, popular movie quotes always get mentioned over and over until the next one. This quote about love couldn't be anymore true; whatever love is to you, you have every right to accept it. From the smallest to the largest acts, it doesn't matter! Love isn't easy so it's your job to figure it out.

Popular books give you quotes to get you thinking about life and the lessons you can learn. If you didn't realize that now, then here you go, you learn something new everyday!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
