8 Quotes To Get You Through The Day
hdwpicture.com

I cannot be the only person who gets an amazing feeling inside when someone smiles because of me. I used to follow positive thinking on Facebook because they always gave me ideas of how to live a happier life while blocking the negativity out. What I learned from following them, I started to show to others around me in hopes that it would help them live a positive life as well. One thing I love is that regardless of the situation, positivity can arise.

Every week for Odyssey, I really never know what to write about. I always wonder what I would enjoy reading and try to go from there hoping that others would enjoy it as well, but of course we all share different passions and interests. What I decided to write for this week will hopefully brighten anyone’s mood and inspire you in your life!

1. “I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” –Jimmy Dean

I have always loved this quote because it is pretty much saying that we can reach out goal no matter what. Even if the end goal seems impossible, try it a different way.

2. “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door” – Milton Berle

I like to think of myself as a go-getter. I can never just sit and complain about something and not actually go and try to change the negative thing. If I had one piece of advice, it is to always find a way to achieve your goal.

3. “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” –Maya Angelou

Have you ever asked someone how their day was and they respond with “Eh, I mean I am alive.” Well, now you have a quote to send them when they say that! It is so cliché to say that you never know when your last day will be so live today like it is your last, but it is true. Smile today! Laugh more! Find your passion and go and conquer it.

4. “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. “ –Aesop

Such a small quote that should make a huge impact on your life.

5. “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” – Walt Disney

One of my absolute favorite guys to ever walk this earth. Do you think he could have built Disney world if all he did was talk about it? Actions!

6. “With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. “ –Eleanor Roosevelt

If you are stuck in yesterday, how can you ever enjoy today? Every day the sun comes up, so don’t be stuck in yesterday.

7. “Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.“ – Robert H. Schuller

I have not heard this one until I saw it online. Very powerful. Do not stop just because a problem arises!

8. “Be the light for others, even when the room is full of darkness.” –Jennifer Connell

Okay, okay. I had to put a quote from myself because I say this all the time. Why stop shining because you will stand out? Light always seems to be beautiful in any situation.


Live life to the fullest, and always smile.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

panera bread

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
