10 Resolutions Every Girl Should Have

Easy resolutions that all girls should have, no matter what age.

Dec 31, 2016

Every year people make resolutions to better themselves. But most people give up those 10 resolutions within the first month of the new year. So here are 10 resolutions that every girl no matter what age should have coming into the new year.

1. Be happy

Now this is easy to say, but actually being happy is different. Do something for yourself that makes you happy. Watch "Friends" on Netflix with your roomies, paint your nails, or even treat your self to a new pair of shoes. Do something that makes you happy!

2. Never settle

Don't settle for the guy that doesn't treat you right. If he doesn't treat you the way you should be treated then leave.

3. Take time for yourself

The pressure of society on girls all ages is difficult. Especially with social media. So take time for yourself. If that means taking a yoga class, hiking, or just hanging by yourself reading a book then do it.

4. Delete the negatives

Strolling through Facebook, Twitter and even Instagram can sometimes make you feel worse about yourself. Delete those negative people in your life. Especially if you don't even talk to them anymore... then why are they still on your newsfeed?

5. Be spontaneous

Try something new!!! A new coffee shop, a new style, or even a trip to a town 3 hours away. Be adventurous and wild!

6. Start a new hobby

Have you always wanted to knit? (I know I have lol) Well then try it. All those hours you sit in bed wondering what to do... learn a new hobby and do something with your time.

7. Read for your health

Read a book to better yourself. Maybe its about dieting and how diets don't work. Or maybe its about yoga and the benefits it has to the body and mind.

8. Meet new people

Meeting new people is scary. Trust me, I'm outgoing once you get to know me. But I hate meeting new people so step out of your comfort zone and talk to the person next to you in your math class. You never know, they could become your best friend.

9. Spend time with your besties

Now this is obvious, but spend time with them. Make an effort to see them as must as possible, especially if they don't go to the same school as you.

10. Don't change for someone

Lastly, don't change for someone. If that person doesn't like you the way you are then why bother. They are the negative you need to drop. So drop them!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
