6 Inspirational Quotes To Remind You To Just Go For It

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, to "go for it" means "to do anything you have to in order to get something".

1. Just Do It.

Starting off with a staple from the beloved athletic brand, Nike. Did you know they're extremely successful? You should probably listen to them!

2. Fortune favors the bold.

A Latin proverb reminds us that putting ourselves out there may lead the universe to reward us (if you believe in that type of thing). To me, this means that being bold results in favorable outcomes more often than if we were to not be so bold.

3. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Thank you, Wayne Gretzky. I like to remind myself of this often. If you don't go to the interview, you'll never get the job. Maybe you don't think you can get it, but the only way to find out for sure is to shoot your shot — you're probably selling yourself short anyway.

4. The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you're not going to stay where you are.

Shoutout to J.P. Morgan on this one. The only way to move is forward. Do what it takes to get to your end goal.

5. If people are doubting how far you can go, go so far that you can't hear them anymore.

Here, Michele Ruiz reminds us that our haters are our biggest motivators, and you can't prove them wrong unless you just go for it!

6. You Only Live Once

This is my personal favorite. I remember in middle school my signature for my texts on my slide phone was just "YOLO" at one point. Oddly enough, 2020 has inspired me to truly embrace what I like to call, the "yolo mentality". I have also been trying to push this on all of my friends. Admittedly, I am not very good at it. But it's true! You only get one life, what are you going to do with it? When you're 80 and you look back at this time in your life will you have regrets? Or will you be grateful that you just went for it?

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.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
