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.

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.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
