9 Quotes Every College Student Needs To Hear
Next Century Publishing

I don't know about others but I personally love quotes. I find them to be inspirational and relatable. They are often just what I needed to hear at that very moment. Being a college student and going through the stresses of classes, homework and planning for the future are overwhelming enough. Unfortunately, we also have added stresses of relationships, family obligations and social pressures, among other things. No matter what situation you are currently in, I think at least one of these quotes could be helpful in getting you through it.

1. "You may think you'll never get over it, but you will, and you'll be fine."

I think this quote could help people going through a hard time where they might be especially stressed. Maybe you are taking a big test and you feel incredibly overwhelmed by it. Remember this quote and it might become just a little more bearable.

2. "You get what you work for, not what you wish for."

This quote is important because it's a reminder to work for goals instead of simply wishing for something to come true. It could possibly bring on motivation to keep working hard and striving for a goal.

3. "Kindness is a language that the deaf can hear and the blind can see." -Mark Twain

This quote is important because it shows how important being kind is. Even if someone does not seem to appreciate kind gestures at the time, they probably will reflect on the kindness you have shown them.

4. "Admire someone else's beauty without questioning your own."

I think this is a very important for college students because we are all unique. Everyone has their own values that they bring to situations. People are talented at different things and it important to not bring others down for this.

5. "Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are." -Brene Brown

This quote can be meaningful for college students because we are at a time in our lives when we are trying to figure out who we are. It is important to embrace who we are and not try to hide that.

6. "The most important thing is to enjoy your life, to be happy, it's all that matters." -Audrey Hepburn

I find this quote to be important for college students to read because we often become overwhelmed. I'm not saying to disregard your schoolwork, but there is more to life than studying. Do things that make you happy, too! Make time for those things because they are just as important as an education.

7. "No is a full sentence." -Mary-Kate Olsen

I find this quote to be extremely important because I often feel as though I need to justify my actions. We need to remember that we can say "no" and leave it at that. If you do not want to do something, you do not have to do it.

8. "Always be a work in progress."

It is a great reminder that we are never done growing and changing. I think it's important to continue trying to better ourselves or be a work in progress.

9. "The biggest human temptation is to settle for too little."

This last quote is very important because we need to remember that we are worthy of being treated with respect. I have personally been in situations where I was willing to accept less than what I believed I deserved. I'm sure other college-aged people have also felt this way. I think it is relatable and a perfect reminder for the ending of this article.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
