Now that we're over a week into 2017, only the people who are really determined to work out can be found in gyms all across the country. Many have been going for months/years at this point, but there are some who are truly fulfilling their New Years Resolution to better themselves. For a lot of these people, going to the gym is an enjoyable & rewarding experience, whether you're working on cardio, abs, legs, arms, chest, etc., and they love getting hyped and putting in hours of work. As is the case with many, music accompanying such workouts serve to only heighten the experience and push you to work harder; especially if the song can really hype you up.

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.
