11 Basic New Year’s Resolutions Every College Girl Will Make

5. Stop drinking wine (or at least cut down): Let's be honest, you are probably drinking way more than needed to reap the health benefits you read about online.

When it comes to making New Year's resolutions, it can be hard to find a balance between a good goal and something you can actually stick to. Eighty percent of New Year's resolutions fail by February. Don't be one of those people and try one of these, perhaps you'll find success or learn something about yourself in the process.

1. Cut Starbucks out of your budget.

Even if you only go once a week, unless you order plain coffee, you're probably going to save yourself like five dollars a trip.

2. Stop procrastinating

Yes, I know Netflix is a thing. Yes, those memes on Twitter are entertaining.
Control yourself and stop while you're ahead. You'll thank yourself later.

3. Stop live tweeting the Bachelor/Bachelorette

You don't need to tweet something that every other girl is tweeting. Save your tweets and enjoy the show with your friends, or save all your non-fan friends from reading your updates.

4. Try those Pinterest recipes you pinned last year

You pinned 800 new recipes. Are you ever going to try any of them? Now would be the time to find out.

5. Stop drinking wine (or at least cut down)

Let's be honest, you are probably drinking way more than needed to reap the health benefits you read about online.

6. Drink more water

We're about 60 percent water. Enough said.

7. Clean off your clothing chair

We all have that chair which we just dump everything on. This may seem impossible, but trying to keep it clean will get rid of so much clutter in your life.

8. Go to the gym

You don't have to lose weight to be healthy (you can gain muscle), but going to the gym or exercising is a must to be healthy. I know, it sucks.

9. Stop binge eating Talenti gelato

Those cute little pints are so yummy, but they're probably killing your fitness goals...and your wallet.

10. Clean your closet

You will find so many things you forgot you had. Also, you will find plenty of things you no longer wear, which can be sold to fund some going out or donated to charity.

11. Don't stress too much

Finding a new club, trying a new gym class, reading, writing in a journal, cooking or just watching a movie is a great way to de-stress. While you want to try resolutions out, remember you are human.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
