Words are fun -- you can put them together and say something that will be remembered for the rest of time. All the time, people put words together that are memorable and motivational. Here are my favorite quotes that encourage and remind me of different things every day.

1. "Life is hard. Wear a helmet."

2. "Never let a bad day make you feel like you have a bad life."

3. "Life's a climb... but the view is great."

4. "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you will land among the stars."

5. "He is very dreamy. But he is not the sun...you are."

6. "Just put one foot in front of the other. Just get through the day."

7. "Always date the girl that has the messy bed, talks to dogs, crosses that one leg while driving and doesn’t match her socks. Trust me."

8. "I am beautifully broken, perfectly imperfect, beautiful in my flaws. Altogether I am a beautiful disaster."

9. "Stop planting flowers in peoples yards who aren’t going to water them."

10. "I like my coffee how I like myself: strong, sweet and too hot for you."

11. "My only goal in life right now is to be happy. Genuinely, intensely and consistently happy, regardless of what that looks like to others."

12. "Accept the fact that you are not perfect and see how much easier it is to breathe."

13. “If I pulled a you on you, you wouldn’t like that shit”

14. "Happiness is the only thing we can give without having."

15. "I think people have forgotten that education is supposed to be a tool to help you on your way to greatness, not the definition of how great you are."

16. "Stop running after the waves. Let the sea come to you."

17. People will promise to never leave you. They will. It’s okay to be sad when they do.

18. People will be mean to you; they will spread lies, call you names, and talk about you behind your back. Eventually, you will realize that it is petty and stupid and not worth your time. You’ll be right. Move on with your life.

19. There will always be someone prettier, smarter, funnier, or more popular than you. The beauty of it is that it isn’t a competition.

20. "Don't chase men. Chase your goals, because they won't wake up one day and say they don't love you anymore."

21. “Rihanna wouldn’t put up with your shit so neither will I.”

22. “I wonder how much of what weighs me down is not mine to carry.”

23. “You touched me and your fingerprints have never left my skin.”

24. “Being happy is a very personal thing -- and it really has nothing to do with anyone else.”

25. “Apparently, people get offended when you treat them the way they treated you.”

26. “Loving God changes the way you love others.”

27. “A good night sleep, or a ten minute bawl, or a pint of chocolate ice cream, or all three together, is good medicine.”

28. “And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.”

29. “Always try your best to ignore your 2 a.m. feelings.”

30. Less “I love you the way you are so please don’t ever change” and more “I love you the way you are, and I will love and support you in any changes you need to make to be happy.”

Here's to life and here's to being motivated!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break.

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?
