12 New Years Resolutions College Students Are Sick Of Hearing About

Welcome to 2017! I’m sure you’re Facebook timelines and Twitter feeds have been full of friends and family publicly proclaiming their New Year’s resolutions to the world. We all have them, but do they really happen? How long do some of they last? A few day, a few weeks? Maybe even a few months, if you’re really lucky. If you’re friends are like mine, I’m sure you’ve heard quite a few of these college students’ New Year’s resolutions.

1. Get my butt to the gym

Nike’s slogan is “Just Do It,” for a reason. Just get up and go workout.

2. Get an A in class

College classes are hard, but by the time midterms roll around, just remember C’s get degrees.

3. Graduate on time

Lol, we can all hope, right?

4. Not spend as much money at the bars

If you only have $2.54 in your bank account, I wouldn’t recommend going to happy hour.

5. Watch what I eat in the dining halls

Well good luck with this one.

6. Get a job

If you want to avoid having $2.54 in your bank account, start sending out those resumes.

7. Go to more sporting events

Sports are fun, even if you don’t understand them…

8. Don’t eat out as much

2017 is the year to bring out your inner Betty Crocker.

9. Go to bed at a more reasonable time

8 hours of sleep is recommended for a reason. Listen to those healthcare officials.

10. Make a new friend

College life goes away really fast. Dorm life probably goes even faster. Take advantage of the opportunity to meet new and interesting people while you still can.

11. Stop procrastinating

You’ll thank yourself later.

12. Have a better year than last year

You might have had a great year of 2016 or maybe not so much, but I’m sure you can make it even better. Do whatever it takes.

Whether you have a resolution or not, 2017 is here, make it your b*tch. New year, new you, right? But just a piece of advice, posting your resolutions on social media won’t help you accomplish them. Just do it and be happy!

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

On a level of 1-10 with 1 being chill and 10 being stressed the flip out, you could say I'm a 9. Worrying about the future, grades, GPA, work, assignments, and a lack of sleep and food will do it to ya.

While it is normal to experience stress and nervousness, the thoughts that come along with it can bring up something else.
