Spring is a time of growth. The leaves are turning green, the snow is melting away, and school starts to become a little bit less interesting knowing that summer is right around the corner. If you're anything like me, you tend to get distracted pretty easily. Thinking about going back home from school and having three months to relax, get a nice tan, and not have to worry about school is pretty sweet. However, the truth is, we still have to worry about school because whether we like it or not, school is important and doing our best is what it's all about. So, here are a few motivational quotes to get you through the last few months of spring semester.

Starting any sort of paper or project can be difficult. Getting focused can be hard for someone who is always on the go with lists of "to-do's" every day. Sit down, put all the distractions to the side, and just begin.

Life can be stressful sometimes. If you're putting your best foot forward and looking at the positives, everything will work out.

As Hannah Montana once said, "nobody's perfect, I gotta work it," and that couldn't be more true. No one is perfect but it's always possible to make progress and do better every day.

It's important to not only have a positive outlook for yourself but for other people and make others feel good too. Karma is real people.

Don't stress the things you can't change. Nothing is permanent, and whatever you're going through can always get better. There is a bright side to every situation.

College... high school... life can be really hard, but when you get to where you want to be you will look back and realize how grateful you are for the journey and the obstacles it took to get you where you are.

The most important thing in life is to take care of yourself. Sometimes it's okay to put down the book and take a walk outside, and if you really want that ice cream sundae, go get it. Stay focused. Work hard. and be the best version of yourself every day.
