As the new semester finally approaches, we are starting to feel all of the emotions. Excitement and the bitter-sweet joy of summer ending, but also the feeling of being closer to your degree and career. The semester can get challenging, but don’t give up! For me, it has been a long and hard road. It took a lot for me not to give up from struggles with classes, taking time off, seeing those around me graduate and obtain their degrees, the tears of long nights and early morning pulling all-nighters, and all-around life hardships. Here I am, finally in my last semester as a senior! Here are some quotes and affirmations that helped me in my journey through college, and hopefully, they can help you too!
