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!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
