We may not have experienced a whole lot yet, but we have a good head on our shoulders and know what we want. We are stressed to the max, sleep deprived, and seemingly in over our heads. All this means we have learned what's important and how to prioritize, leading to these bits of advice and quotes we live by.

Build your home.

In our lives there is always the pressure to hangout with certain people or to be involved in different activities to "belong," but the first question to ask yourself is "Am I laying a foundation of goodness in my life?" If not, start building, or rather start from scratch to lay this foundation. Making friends and being involved is not bad, but when it comes to building unhealthy relationships or becoming involved in unfulfilling activities, making a new blue plan maybe be liberating. Building takes time and requires patience but being active in that patience is how things get built. For all of us, not belonging can be a painful feeling. It may seem like we will never truly be at home, but a home does not just appear. It must be created. So step out, and start building. -Shanae DeHaan-Burch

Live your life being as happy as possible.

As long as you're pursuing the life you want and you're happy, you're on the right track.

This can be taken in many contexts, whether it be your education, career or general life. Happiness is above all. Other peoples opinions will always effect you, but its important to stay true to yourself. -Andrea Reif
