20 Quotes From Kid President To Inspire More Awesome
PBS

The world we live in is harsh, cold, and often very unwelcoming. The news and media highlight natural devastations, riots, slander, terrorist attacks, shootings, Hollywood drama, and other depressing events -- which they should, it's the job and we ought to be aware of what's going on. But how do we deal with all of that negativity? Where can we turn for a little hope and encouragement? Thank Jesus for Robby Novak and his incredibly bright spirit despite his debilitating condition. Robby, aka Kid President, has osteogenesis imperfecta, a disease that makes his bones extremely brittle and susceptible to easy breaks. He's broken 70 plus bones, and has endured 13 surgeries. Despite apparent setbacks, Robby's infectious "awesome" spirit has endured, inspiring us all with his life's mottos, pep talks, and can-do attitude. Whether you're a struggling student, pull-your-hair-out professor, multi-tasking mom or do-it-all dad, we can all admire Kid President's laughable wisdom and listen to his pep talks.

If you don't have time to watch, here a few quotes gathered from multiple pep talk videos to get you through your day.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

pale girl

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
