7 Quotes to Help You Find Happiness in Yourself

Rachel Leach

You have every opportunity that comes your way to be happy with yourself.

Here are some quotes to help you get started...You are the only person that can truly make you happy, so what are you waiting for?

You may now have to tell everyone what’s going on inside your head, but you can’t always live in the past. Life doesn’t wait for you; it might be time to move on. There may be better things out there waiting for you.

Do not waste your time making everyone around you happy. It’s time for you to live for yourself, disregard what everyone else thinks. You are the most important thing in your life right now, and you should live every day with a smile on your face because you are you and no one can change that.

Who said that you aren’t a priority? You aren’t being selfish if you are treating yourself, it’s how way life works. You have to make yourself happy before you can make anyone else happy.

Think to yourself ten things that make you happy, write them down, and go make them happen. If you like photography because you can see things from a different perspective, go take a picture. If sitting in a coffee shop with a book in hand makes you happy, go do it. If being in Europe makes you happy, why haven’t you moved to Europe by now? Treat yourself. You deserve happiness.

There’s a reason you were brought into this world, I know there is. There is a reason we were all brought into this world. You don’t have to explain to me what makes you happy, all you have to know are the things that create your happiness. You live your own life and I live my own life. What sort of things can you change about your life so you live a happier one? Don’t let yourself down, you are special in every sort of way.

If you want to be happy, do not compare yourself to others. No two people are alike. Do not feel sorry for yourself even if you feel like a failure. Do not hide from change in your life, maybe the change will make you feel happier and stronger. Do not ever try to please everyone because it can’t happen. There’s nothing you can do to please every single person, no matter how hard you try.

It’s time to take your life into your own hands, don’t wait for life to get better for you. Every single person lives a different life and every person knows their own happiness. What’s yours?

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
