Here are 5 inspiring quotes I found that can be motivating when things get tough during the semester:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cDoubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.\u201d \u2013Karim Seddiki <\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I sometimes get down on myself for things that aren’t even in my control. It\u2019s important to remember to stay positive during hard times at school, but also at home with roommates, feelings of home sickness, tough relationships, etc. Don\u2019t doubt yourself because you\u2019re doing your personal best and everyone is in the same boat at the end of the day.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cDon\u2019t wait until you\u2019ve reached you goals to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take toward reaching the goal.\u201d \u2013Anonymous (terri.com) <\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n
It\u2019s important to stay positive and work hard, but also take breaks when you need them and reward yourself when you ace an exam or finish a tough assignment. Be your own cheerleader and cheer yourself on when you do something worth being proud of\u2026no matter how small.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI never dreamt of success. I worked for it.\u201d \u2013Estee Lauder <\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Real, earned success comes with a lot of hard work and usually some tears. Nothing ever gets done by just sitting around and being lazy so creating goals, sticking to them, and not giving up achieving them is an important part of how successful you are.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIf it scares you, it might be a good thing to try\u201d \u2013Seth Godin <\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I remember when I was a Freshman here at WSU and I was terrified to take a Spanish class because I thought it would be too hard for me to handle. My roommate asked me to take it with her and convinced me that I could do it. I ended up loving the course and I have been a Spanish minor ever since. If it weren\u2019t for my roommate telling me to take the course and for myself believing that I could, I wouldn\u2019t be taking classes that I love now. Doing things that seem scary can sometimes be the best decisions for us. Trust your gut and never think you aren\u2019t good enough.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cNothing worth having comes easy.\u201d \u2013Anonymous<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Such as\u2026a college degree! College is by no means \u201ceasy\u201d and graduating from college with a degree is something that most people look at as a huge accomplishment to be proud of. It takes a lot of work, some days doubting if you\u2019re capable of it, and a lot of time celebrating the fact that you can do it!<\/p>\n
Stress is inevitable in our chaotic college lives. Living with friends can sometimes lead to arguments about who left all the dirty dishes in the sink and stressful classes can lead to questions like \u201cwhy did I choose a nursing major when this biology class is the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever had to do?\u201d<\/p>\n
Moral of the story is, don\u2019t give up. You\u2019re doing the best you can and you will succeed<\/p>\n
