Tomorrow is the last day of classes! Which means finals are starting, and stress and anxiety are ramping up to an all-time high. The end of the semester, especially Spring semester, can bring lots of emotions. For Seniors, it’s saying goodbye to the place they’ve called home for the last 4 years, Juniors are figuring out their summer internships and jobs, Sophomores may be finalizing their choice in major, and Freshmen are returning to the place that is “home” but doesn’t exactly feel like home any more. We know this is an overwhelming time, and we want to give you some motivational quotes to help brighten your day, get you through finals, or just make you feel better since we are all dealing with a lot right now. Motivational quotes are definitely a little cheesy, but I really believe that they work and help people get through hard times, so here are some of my favorites, all from anonymous authors: 

1. Doing your best looks different every day. 
2. The pain you feel today is the strength you feel tomorrow.
3. You’re not always going to be motivated so you must be disciplined. 
4. No regrets, just lessons. No worries, just acceptance. No expectations, just gratitude. Life is too short. 
5. You don’t have to do what everyone else is doing.
6. Whatever is going to happen will happen, whether we worry about it or not.
7. Stop waiting for everything to be perfect to be happy. 
8. Some endings are sent for new beginnings.
9. I hope something makes you smile today.
10. Life is good when you spend it with the people who make your heart happy. 

The end of the semester is in sight, and we hope that you can finish the semester strong, happy and healthy. If the motivational quotes were not enough and you feel you require extra support, don’t hesitate to stop into the peer advising office Monday-Thursday, or make an appointment with a professional advisor on Navigate!
