Second Semester Motivational Quotes

Going into this new semester with a whole new mindset, I wanted to find quotes that I knew would help encourage me. I have recently seen quotes all over instagram with the cutest and most creative designs. I noticed they are all by Morgan Harper Nichols, a christian songwriter/artist. All of the quotes I have chosen are her pieces.

"How beautifully you are learning the art of surrender, the courage to let go, in the wind of your unknowns." -MHN

So many changes have occurred from last semester to second, I can not wait to have the past behind me.

"You are different now, and that is a beautiful thing, and all of this is a part of the journey of becoming who you were meant to be."- Morgan Harper Nichols

New year, new mindset.

"It's okay if not every weekend doesn't lead to big moments and campfires and laughter that carries on for hours and hours. Some weekends might be quiet, still, with plenty of room to contemplate, and in that contemplation room, there is room to grow. So hold those weekends dear. Don't see them as less or as threats to more exciting times. There is beauty and truth even in the seemingly mundane." - Morgan Harper Nichols

Sometimes we need some quiet time to reflect.

"Breathe... Take air into your lungs. Be reminded of His love. Breathe it out. Let it go." - MHN

Even on rough days, it's a blessing to have the ability to breathe in air into your lungs and know there is Someone greater than you.

"One day you will look back on this season and know that you are truly blessed, and not because things were perfect but because you found the perfect grace in the worst of it."- Morgan Harper Nichols

The 'AH HA' moment

"The unknowns have no end, but neither does His grace." - MHN

The fear of the unknown is real... But I do not have to question his love for me and YOU.

"Morning is here, the day is new, perhaps this is where The Light breaks through." - Morgan Harper Nichols

It's never too late to be brand new!!

"If you ever feel the world around you is too busy to notice you, may you always be the one brave enough to stop and notice the world." MHN

Sometimes we get so caught up in ourselves that we forget there are other people in this world too.. Someone always has it worse than you.. Be conscious of those around you!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

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."

Christmas tree

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.
