With the second semester approaching rapidly for many college students, I wanted to provide some inspirational messages and ideas to live by and apply to your life. It's my hope these quotes will motivate you to succeed. Personally, I have more determination to make it through the spring semester because I know that once it ends, summer is here and I have a three and a half month break from school, homework, late nights of studying, and stress. So here's to making it smoothly to a great summer vacation!
