5 Quotes That Will Help You Get Through Tough Times

Life is rough. Sometimes, certain tragedies happen in our lives that we just can't control. For instance, you studied really hard and still didn't do well on a test or you were disciplined during the entire athletic preseason and then got injured just before the season started. Whatever it is, we often look down on ourselves and think that the world has come to an end. Well, we shouldn't, and the world certainly has not ended. We may experience things that are not in our favor, but that doesn't mean that we should give up on life. Everything happens for a reason, and here are a few quotes that can help you in those situations.

1.

Even though you might be experiencing some tough times, you are stronger than you think. You have to trust in yourself. You're going to make it through!

2.

We will always have obstacles in our lives. However, we shouldn't let that one misfortune be the end to our success. One small hardship is what only makes us stronger.

3.

Nobody succeeds from the get-go. It takes time, effort, and failure to be able to succeed. It's not about falling down that counts. It's about getting back up and moving on with courage.

4.

Experiencing adversity only makes you stronger as a person. It is through these miserable times that we realize that we have more experience and knowledge. We become more mature and are able to take on any challenge that comes our way.

5.

We may all feel like this at least once in our lives. We've struggled through a lot. We feel like we're at the end of the tunnel and that's how we'll be until we die. Just remember, that there is almost always something sweet on the other side of the struggle.

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:
