Finals week is a dreaded week for college students everywhere. Sometimes all you need is a little inspiration, and who's better at motivation than Dr. Seuss? Stories from the beloved children's writer may be able to give you a little inspiration for a stressful week to come.
"Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!"
-- "Oh, The Thinks You Can Think!"
During finals week, you'll have a lot of things to think about. Just remember there's always more than one way to solve a problem.
"If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good."
-- "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish"
Just studying during finals week can be exhausting, so don't forget to take time to treat yourself and have some fun.
"Don't give up. I believe in you all. A person's a person no matter how small."
-- "Horton Hears A Who"
You matter, and even though you're only one person, you can make a difference.
"You have brains in your head, you have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose."
-- "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
You are capable of so much more than you could ever imagine, and you never know what you'll think up next!
"There's no limit to how much you'll know, depending how far beyond zebra you go."
-- "On Beyond Zebra"
Sometimes you have to get creative for a solution, and you might need to think outside the box or past expectations in order to succeed.
"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you!"
-- "Happy Birthday To You!"
Amid all the finals craziness, don't forget to be yourself. You are wonderful when you are you.
"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
-- "I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!"
There is always something to learn, even if you don't realize it right away. Keep reading, thinking, studying and you'll reach your goals.
"And will you succeed? Yes! You will indeed. Ninety eight and three quarters percent guaranteed!"
-- "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
You'll do great, but even if you have a failure or two, then get back up and keep working hard. You'll find success eventually.
"Kid, you'll move mountains! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so get on your way!"
-- "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"
What is your mountain? You are beyond capable of conquering it.
Now that you have all this knowledge, get out there and crush those finals!
