Stuck in the beginning

Hey readers,
Welcome to the continuation of our Tuesday's Takeaways segment!
As we head back to school for Fall semester, our Top Quotes about new beginnings remind us how we have the opportunity for change at any point in our lives.  

• Takeaway trivia of the week: With the start of the new semester, some of you may be striving to pick up better studying or reading habits. Some people say that it takes 21 days to form a habit, but is that true or just a myth?

Meanwhile...

We are sure you have had doubts about how the upcoming semester will play out...but it's important to keep in mind positive thoughts such as:

"It might [be] the beginning of a new story"
-David Mitchell, AGE OF THE EPOCHIANS 

So we are here to tell you:

 "Close your eyes, it’ll be alright
Awaken to the dawn of a new day"
-Mariam Esa, The Endless Night

"You are going to be given many new opportunities and challenges in the future. You can’t be afraid anymore."
-Ahnaf Zitou​, A BRIEF INQUIRY INTO THE TIME YOU BROKE YOUR OWN HEART 

"...start to climb out. Fear. Excitement. What’s out there?"
-Stephanie Calderon Vasquez, Is It Okay? 

Find what's out there and start, 

"commemorating new beginnings
Building new bridges through unity, forming branches of one tree, our collegiate community."
-Rachel Augustin, Behind the Silent Walls

And now...
  The notion that it only takes 21 days to form a habit is a myth. Sometimes it can feel impossible to form a new habit, but according to psychology the best way to do so is through repetition. Try setting aside time every day for your new, positive habit and you never know what can happen! 

​Next week's theme is going to be about weather​.
Make sure to stay tuned! <3
