5 Positive Quotes to Live By
cdn

Words can say a lot in the world around us. Whether they are written or spoken, the words we read or hear are very important. Most of the time, the words that stick with us the most are the negative ones. To help fill social media with positive words, here are my top 5 favorite quotes/scripture to live by.

1. “If things start happening, don’t worry, don’t stew, just go right along and you’ll start happening too.” -Dr. Suess

Dr. Suess quotes are by far my favorite. There is so much positivity that he showed through his words. These powerful messages are great for adults and children everywhere.

2. Give God your weakness and he'll give you his strength.

Everyone goes through hard times when they feel weak and they don't think they can ever become strong. With God we can always remember that He will make us strong through prayer, healing, and scripture.

3. Don't ruin a good day by thinking about a bad yesterday.

There is no point in dwelling on the negative parts of your life. Today can be an amazing day if you let go of the past that's holding you back.

4. “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” - Helen Keller

Go out and make an adventure for yourself, if you don't then it all was for nothing. Life is so crazy and fun, we might as well make it a crazy, fun adventure.

5. Stop remembering what God has forgotten.

It is so easy to hold on to our mistakes and feel guilty about them, but that's the great thing about God's forgiveness.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
