During midterms week, people always post pictures of quotes on Instagram or post quotes on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media platforms. Everyone is constantly wishing everyone good luck and telling them that they will do great. It's funny to think it all just stops the second testing ends. We should strive to be motivated all the time and in all aspects of our life, not just school and midterms/finals. We should also push our friends and encourage them to strive to do their best in everything they do. It should not take testing for everyone to want others to do well.

1. "Do it for you, not them."

Do well and succeed and make yourself happy and proud. That is all that matters.

2. "Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need, not more." - Mother Teresa

Why waste time being anything other than happy?

3. "Wherever you are, be all there." - Jim Elliot

Give 100% in all you do, all of the time.

4. "Believe in yourself, and you will be unstoppable."

You are in charge of yourself and no one else. All you need is you.

5. "Be the CEO your parents wanted you to marry."

People are often told to marry someone well off, but why do that when you are capable of striving and succeeding yourself? Do not wait for someone to do it for you. Dream big, work hard and empower yourself.

6. "I didn't get there by wishing for it or hoping for it, but by working for it." - Estée Lauder

Work hard for what you want even if it doesn't come easy and has obstacles. Let nothing stop you.

7. "A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done." - Vince Lombardi

Goals can take sacrifices. Are you willing to make them?

8. "You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think." - Christopher Robin

Sometimes a good childhood movie can remind us that we are capable.

9. "Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and think of what could go right."

Take risks. You never know what could come out of a situation.

10. "You Are Never Too Old To Set Another Goal Or To Dream A New Dream." - C.S. Lewis

Age does not matter. It is never too late.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
