A Little Dose Of Weekly Motivation

We are at THAT point in the semester. Tests are piling up, papers are demanding to be written, you haven't gotten a restful sleep since Christmas break, and end of the semester exams are creeping on the horizon. I get it, we are all in the same boat. Rather than curling up in a ball and napping away your anxieties, take a moment for your personal weekly motivation:

"You can have anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can't have it." ~Robert Anthony

“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” ~Vincent Van Gough

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” ~Winston Churchil l

“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” ~H. Jackson Brown Jr.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”~Thomas A. Edison

"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." ~Walt Disney

"The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." ~Winston Churchill

"If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you." ~Steve Jobs

"People who are crazy enough to think that can change the world, are the ones who do." ~Rob Siltanen

"We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated." ~Maya Angelou

"We generate fears while we sit. We overcome them by action." ~Dr. Henry Link

"Creativity is intelligence having fun." ~Albert Einstein

"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." ~C.S. Lewis

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will." ~Vince Lombardi

"If you really want to do something, you will find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse." ~Jim Rohn

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
