7 Mantras And Quotes To Get You Through The Next Few Weeks

1. "This Too Shall Pass"

It sounds very cliché and we hear it way too often with everything going on right now, but its important to remember that its true! Both school and this pandemic will end eventually and life will go on. We just have to make it through now by remembering that "This Too Shall Pass"

2. "You are more Resilient than you think and so much Stronger than you feel"

When things get tough, it's easy to feel weak and helpless. Remind yourself that you are strong and resilient even if you don't feel like it.

3. "It always seems impossible until it's done"

media.giphy.com

The stress that comes with finals and the end of a semester often lead to moments of feeling overwhelmed. Some days even feel impossible, but we've felt like this before, we will probably feel it again, and we have made it through every time so far, we can do it again.

4. "You might say to yourself, 'I don't like this' and I know, I understand but you're doing it! You're nailing it because you're doing it!"

This is one of my all time favorite quotes that has gotten me through so many of the rough patches in my life. It reminds me that whatever is causing me stress may not be fun, I may not like it, and it may not be pretty, but I'm doing it one way or another and that is what counts. You are succeeding because you are trying.

5. "Slow progress is better than no progress"

During finals season I often find myself overwhelmed and cram studying which never goes well. Realizing that like anything worthwhile, studying takes time, and while it may feel like you aren't making progress fast enough, it's still better than not making any.

6. "Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly"

media.giphy.com

As I said with the last quote, progress is progress. It may not be perfect or even average, but trying is better than doing nothing.

7. "Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do"

media.giphy.com

There is always the possibility that you are or can be good at something whether you are amazing or average or if you enjoy it or not, you have the ability to do it. Don't let doubt and fear of failure take you away from something you could be really good at.

It's okay to struggle and fumble through life especially through stressful times like these. Feel whatever you need to feel, but try to motivate yourself to do the things you don't like or that scare you. Don't be afraid to try something new! There is a lot going on right now, but hopefully some of these quotes help you find the motivation you need to make it through. Things will get better, hang in there!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
