10 New Year's Resolutions You Will Forget In Two Weeks

The trend of blowing off resolutions dates back to our innocent childhood years. Remember when you would tell your whole family, while trying to fit in with the new year fad, that you were going to give up sweets? Do you remember how ridiculously delicious that hidden candy bar tasted as it first touched your lips only one week later? And as you sat there, chocolate smeared all over your chubby cheeks, you realized that New Year's resolutions were just unrealistic. So, here are the New Year's resolutions that you will forget about in two weeks. 

1. Work out more. Trying to workout once you are back at school is generally prioritized after classes, homework, and going out. Also, school rec centers are scary and filled with meat heads, machines you don't know how to use, and people you know.


2. Drink less. 
After spending an entire month of break watching movies with your parents in sweatpants, you are going to want to go out as much as humanly possible. The second you get back on your campus, the thirst will show no mercy. 



3. Eat healthier. Mom's homemade cooking and endless supply of produce had you feeling some type of way. However, once you return to your smelly mini-fridge and empty bank account, you realize that eating healthy is  probably not going to happen. Also, we all know the drunchies are necessary if you want to survive. 


4. Keep up with your laundry.
But getting quarters is hard and it is heavy, and then I have to fold it. 


5.  Wake up earlier. 
Being able to take your time getting ready and actually sitting down for breakfast sounds incredible. However, that cozy twin bed will always win and you will end up running out the door with bed head and a banana. 


6. No random hook ups. 
Your friends, who at the beginning of the night may be very respectable and intelligent wingmen or women, turn into the last people you should listen to. 



7. Look nice for class. The thought of wearing jeans to class...


8. Stay away from the jerks you left over break. 
While staying away is easy from a distance, the second you are out and see them at the bars.


9. Do your homework and don't procrastinate. Head to the library to do all of the homework you saved for Sunday.



10. Get organized and figure out your future. Figuring out your life will come, when it comes.



While resolutions and getting your life together is a great idea, there will likely be no other time in your life when you will be able to live the college lifestyle. Once you enter the adult world, you will no longer be able to wear leggings every day, drink four nights a week, and have absolute freedom. In other words, enjoy these four years and save the resolutions for when you become a socially acceptable human.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
