Your #MotivationMonday Speech Told By GIFs

In This Article:

Feeling a bit under the weather? Stressed? Overworked? Well, here is some motivation to get you through.

1. You know those days where you come home from a long day of work or school?

Giphy

You are usually left to your thoughts. Well, at least I am, in between the laundry list of things to do, and the thoughts of everything and nothing at the same time.

2. Most people tend to put off thinking in the greater aspects of life.

Giphy

If something is bothering them they put it off, stay busy or maybe they even hyper-focus on something else entirely. I feel like I do all of them in the course of an hour and restart it for the next.

3. Life is very difficult. 

Giphy


I'd like to say that life isn't that hard, but that's not true and anyone who tells you differently is lying. It is painful, confusing, and unrelenting. There are days where you just want to give up, and then there are days where you are so glad to be alive. Those days seem few and hard to find at times. But everything is difficult, right? It's a process to appreciate things when they're good, right?

4. It's a constant struggle to get through the day.

I am constantly plagued with what to do and how to do things correctly, fairly. Over thinking, over analyzing, caring too much or not enough, worrying over everything.

5. They say everything happens for a reason.

Giphy

Whether they call it fate or destiny, whatever suits your fancy. And you know, a part of me truly believes that. I believe there is a reason that bad things happen to good people, that people come into your life to show you another layer of yourself, and that no matter how bad it gets - it could always be worse.

6. This life is too short and precious to waste it on anything but your happiness. 

Giphy

If you are not happy with your life, do anything you possibly can to change it. Whether that be a new career, a new place to live, or surrounding yourself with genuine people.

7. Stop second guessing yourself, stop making excuses.

Giphy

If you see something or someone as difficult, reevaluate their presence in your life to see if it's worth it in the long run. Sometimes, it's your perspective that needs to change and sometimes it's your own fear.

8. Fear has the power to either intimidate or motivate you.

Giphy

It's up to you to choose what is best for you and your conscious. I know myself, I know what I want and what I deserve in this life.

9. Remember, you are what you tell yourself, not what others say you have to be. 

Giphy

I am determined, strong-willed, opinionated, fiercely passionate, and I never give up on anything I believe in. Now, this makes a few things difficult - but I still know in my heart that I am being honest to myself and those around me. What about you?

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

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

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.
