My roommate, Katie, gave me the idea. She suggested it within our first or second week of living together. I have this HUGE pile of multi-colored sticky notes. So a few weeks ago, I set to work and stuck 3 or 4 quotes up there. Over the past couple weeks, I've added more and more as I've thought of them or come across them. They're mostly inspirational quotes or quotes I like, all just randomly stuck above my head. I'm going to write them out here for you. (These are the ones that are up there now. I'll probably add more in the future.)
