Sit Back, Relax & Enjoy the Day.

“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.”
—Groucho Marx
Happy Thanksgiving!
Take time today to think of all the things that you are thankful for.

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
—Albus Dumbledore
“As you grow up, you will have your heart broken more than once and it’s harder everytime. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll cry because time is passing too fast. And you’ll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures. Laugh too much. And love like you’ve never been hurt. Because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.”

Life Keeps Moving
There are times when we forget that life keeps moving on and on…
It’s easy to be upset and feel like ‘it’s the end of the world,’ but nothing about that state of mind is healthy; because life keeps moving, and if we stop, we will miss opportunities and moments that yield happiness within us. It’s easier said then done, but don’t allow yourself to slip into a funk. There are times we are all met with failure or disappointment, but this should not reflect on our strong character. Remember always, that unhappiness is temporary and you have the ability to think positively, smile and be happy.

“As a woman I have no country. As a woman I want no country. As a woman, my country is the whole world.”
—Virginia Woolf
“When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case, a princess. When we were ten, they asked again. We answered rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we’ve grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this: who the hell knows? This isn’t the time to make hard and fast decisions, this is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love… a lot. Major in philosophy, cause there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind and change it again, because nothing’s permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be, we won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”
—Jessica Stanley in Eclipse
November Time!
For all college students across the world, November is a stressful time of the school year. Be sure not to lose yourself in all the school work you will have these next few weeks. Take each day as it comes and remember to relax.
Breathe.
