6 Motivational Quotes To Spice Up Your Life

We all need inspiration from time to time in our daily lives especially when things get a little rough. It's important to clear your mind and reflect on life by reading a couple of these motivational quotes as a reminder. Everything will be okay and you get through whatever that's troubling you.

1. “You cannot live your life to please others. The choice must be yours.” - Anne Hathaway

This quote is from the Alice Through The Looking Glass movie which was produced by the famous Tim Burton. The quote happens to be one of my favorites. To be totally honest, I personally had to learn this quote the hard way during my last few years in high school and when I started college. Unfortunately, there are a huge number of individuals in this world who believes that they need to please others however, in reality they should be aiming towards pleasing themselves, and improving their lifestyle. Until they learn this concept, they will always be falling short of living their destiny.

2. “Brave girl, choose yourself” - Reuben Holmes, pen name R.H. Sin

R.H. Sin whose real name is Reuben Holmes is an author who has written several books. In my opinion, the real message behind the quote is that a person needs to choose themselves before they select another person when it comes to friendships and/or relationships, and also to be brave. It means that an individual needs to make themselves the number one priority in their lives prior to being involved with others.

3. “Perhaps we should love ourselves so fiercely that when others see us they know exactly how it should be done.” - Rudy Francisco

My analysis of Mr. Rudy Francisco's quote, is that he is indicating that a person should love themself with such passion that it will project outward so that other individuals around them will see how much they love themselves, and treat them according. This is one of my favorite quotes because it resonates with me on so many levels. This is something that my mother has always drilled into my brother and I when we were younger.

I grew up hearing a quote very similar to Mr. Francisco's quote, and that quote is "You must love yourself first before you love someone else". What do you think he is trying to convey?

4. “Some days I am goddess. Some days I am wild child. And some days I am a fragile mess. Most days I am a bit of all three. But every day, I am here, trying.” - S.C Lourie

Basically this quote is reflecting that an individual may have good days and bad days and a combination of both on some days. It could reflect the personality of an individual who may be struggling with a personality disorder due to the stresses of society. Throughout, it all the individual still has the willpower to try to stay motivated because it states that "But every day, I am here, trying."

5. “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great” - Zig Ziglar

What Zig Ziglar is stating in this quote is very simple. It means that you have to at least start if you want an opportunity at being great. There are so many individuals who will complain about their lives, yet they will not take the initiative to even lift a finger to get started on a road to self improvement. Therefore, Zig Ziglar's quote is an inspiration to those who lack motivation.

6. “Wake up with determination, go to bed with satisfaction” - K. Bell

I personally believe in this quote! I love it! Because regardless of what the day may have given you, you have to leave that day in your past, therefore, when the next day comes you "Wake up with determination, and you go to bed with satisfaction"! This shows that if you go to bed satisfied, the next morning you will be more inclined to be determined to repeat and/or strive for a better day than you had before.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
