Ever have one of those days? You know the days that I am talking about. The type of days where you feel like you can’t get out of bed or the days you question everything that is happening around you. We all have days where we need peps talks and a little inspiration.

Personally, I have a little obsession with quotes. I feel that some quotes can help you through the toughest of times and often have hidden messages in them. So, here is a list of seven of my favorite quotes that will help you get through every day of the week.

1. “Everything happens for a reason.”

If you are having a bad day or something isn’t working out, don’t get discouraged. Most likely, there is a reason why you are in the place you are in. People and things are made in your life to test you.

2. “Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.”

Often times, people forget that other people have problems too. People are so quick to judge other people by the way they look or their actions, but they never take the time to think if there is a reason people are a specific way. Being kind to one another will make the world a better place.

3. “Just because you took longer than others, doesn’t mean you failed.”

People sometimes think that if they take longer to do something or watch someone complete the same task faster, they simply failed. This is definitely not the case. Take your time with things. If people rush with things, they can easily make mistakes.

4. “Treat others the way you want to be treated.”


The Golden Rule. If you want others to treat you kindly and with respect, treat others that way. If you want people to go out of their way for you, go out of your way for them. Don’t expect to be treated nicely if you can’t do the same in return.

5. “You're doing the best you can.”

Stop being so hard on yourself. If you studied hard for that exam or you tried to get yourself to socialize more and it didn’t turn out as planned, don’t put yourself down. Today you were one step closer than yesterday and tomorrow you will be one step closer to today.

6. “Everything will be okay.”


I feel like people often forget this quote. Everything might go wrong all at once, but life is going to be ok. You will be ok. Don’t think otherwise. Just believe in yourself even if it is the last thing you want to do.

7. “Tomorrow is a new day.”

This quote doesn’t necessarily mean to wait to do everything tomorrow. If today wasn’t the day you hoped for, there is always tomorrow and if tomorrow is not your day either, there is another tomorrow after that. Life is filled with tomorrows!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
