Everyone has their favorite quote. I happen to have WAY too many. Here are 11 quotes that I hope inspire you, bring joy to your life, or become one of your favorites.

1. "If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have hot dogs." - Greg Universe from "Steven Universe"

This quote brings a smile to my face. Greg Universe instills some great knowledge on young Steven, and I feel like we all can learn from this. Not everything will work out perfectly, but make the best of what you have.

2. "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken." -Oscar Wilde

I feel this quote should be told to every young person. Especially in middle school where finding yourself is important.

3. "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." - Walt Disney

I couldn't agree more with this statement. If anyone tells you that something is "impossible," show them it can be done. The look of disbelief on their faces will be rewarding.

4. "Just keep swimming" - Dory from "Finding Nemo"

No matter what comes your way, just keep swimming and you will find a way through it.

5. "Time for the charm bomb to explode." - Tina Belcher from "Bob's Burgers"

You only get one chance to meet a person. Take Tina's advice and let the charm bomb explode!

6. "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all." - "Thumper from Bambi"

This is a very true statement. A lot of problems can be solved by keeping a thought to yourself.

7. "Quiet people have the loudest minds." -Stephen Hawking

Mr. Hawking was full of wisdom. This statement makes you wonder about the quiet kid in class. Try talking with them. Sometimes the quietest person will tell the funniest jokes!

8. "No." - Hamlet Act III, Scene III, Line 92

Sometimes you have to know when to say no.

9. "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." - Albert Einstein

I find this especially true for all of those who wish to become teachers in the future. This not only goes for teachers but for those who will one day show new employees the ropes.

10. "Sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something."- Jake from "Adventure Time"

You can't always be good at everything you do! It is OKAY to fail as long as you get back up and try it again.

11. "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends." - Dumbledore from "Harry Potter"

Standing up to your friends is probably the hardest thing someone can do. Many fear losing their friends if they say something to them. If the person were truly your friend, you should not worry about bringing up an issue to them.

Hopefully you will remember these quotes in the future. Some of them are silly, but they are actually full of wisdom.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
