7 Celebrity Quotes We Should Live By

1. I'm going to hang out with people, and I'm going to explore myself, and I'm okay with that. -Selena Gomez

Selena said it best. Figuring out who we are should be the biggest priority. We have one life, and we should not spend our time trying to be who we're not; instead, we should take the time to just figure out who we already are.


2. Even as far back as when I started acting at 14, I know I've never considered failure. -Jennifer Lawrence

Although life may seem rough at times, failure should never be an option. Take it from one of the most inspirational actresses I've ever admired—Jennifer Lawrence. She is the perfect role model, especially for young women who are just trying to figure out who they are. She insists that we never settle for being someone we're not.

3. Sometimes the only way to discover who we are is by figuring out who we are not. -Nina Dobrev

If it's not obvious by now, I'm in this stage where I'm all about good vibes. I'm still figuring out who I am and who I want to be, but I've come this far by pretending to be someone else. Now I'm at the point where I love to embrace myself, imperfections and all.

4. You're damned if you're too thin and damned if you're too heavy. According to the press, I've been both. It's impossible to satisfy everyone, and I suggest we stop trying. -Jennifer Aniston

The moral here is that, no matter what, not everyone is going to like the way you look, and that's okay. So don't try to change the way you look to satisfy people who don't matter.

5. I'm so sick of saying the words "gay" and "lesbian." They're just people. One day, I want my son to come home from school and be like, "I found this guy, and I love him." And I'm gonna be like, "Yes, you do, and that's okay." -Josh Hutcherson

Lastly, one of my all-time favorite inspirational quotes: Josh Hutcherson on sexuality. No matter who we love, we are all just people, and love is love. Enough said.

6. It can be really challenging in today's world for anyone—especially girls and women—to feel good about their bodies. No matter how things look from the outside, we can all be super critical of ourselves. My job at those moments is to tell myself the truth. Am I taking care of myself in a healthy way? Am I respecting myself and being responsible? And over and over, I answer "yes" to that question. I remind myself to be kind to myself, and, as slightly ridiculous as it may sound, to treat myself in the same gentle way I'd want to treat a daughter." -Emma Stone

I wish I had words to explain how I feel about this, but I don't. But I'm clapping my hands with glee at the last bit: "...same gentle way I'd treat a daughter." Ladies and gentleman—EMMA STONE.

7. If I can prevent one person today from having the wrong friends, from cutting for the first time, to embarking on a horrible, long journey with an eating disorder....If I could just change one life by this message, by saying "Don't go there," then I'm done." -Demi Lovato

There it is. Demi has been there. A lot of us have been there. It's really eye-opening to know that someone as beautiful and strong as Demi has been there too.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
