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.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
