Harvard Student Affirmations

Sometimes you need something to repeat under your breath on the way to class besides “I’m so tired” and “fml” and the Krebs cycle. Something that says, “I can get through today.” That’s where Flyby comes in.

“I am not addicted to caffeine.”

“Five hours of sleep is enough, because I make it enough.”

“Well, I think I’m more than my grades.”

“Yes, I’m more… um… my grades do not define… um…”
