Some days no matter how hard you try, you just cannot seem to get a grip on things. Maybe you're too lazy or tired. Maybe you are discouraged from past failures. Maybe it is just too difficult. Whatever the case, we all need a little inspiration to kick us into gear. Who better to inspire us to greatness and beyond than the heroic leaders and thinkers of the past, who did the very same thing for their peers. So, when life has got you down, just keep scrolling.

1.


-Unknown

So the writer of that great quote remains in the dark, but the author's words and their meaning light the way to greatness.

2.


-Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman, as an iconic American poet, had no shortage of elegant words. But, given his kind heart and aspiration to cure America's grief after the Civil War, the above quote seems most fitting.

3.

-Thich Nhat Hanh

We all put up fronts to please others, but when push comes to shove, one can only be truly happy when happy with oneself.

4.


-John Quincy Adams

Stick with something and eventually, it will become reality. Which is, to say the least, a difficult thing to do when one is beyond frustrated. Take a break - not too long, though--and keep at it because eventually it will kneel before your tenacity.

5.


-Eleanor Roosevelt

As a female rights activist and humanitarian, Roosevelt dreamed big and she knew exactly what dreaming could do.

Well, I'm inspired and, hopefully, you are too. So got out there and sieze the day. Let nothing stop you, as you push forward and conquer any challenge that dares to halt your passage!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
