17 Things To Do This New Year

With the New Year here, why not try something new. It can either be a small event or a big goal to take on. And this might help out some of you who are looking to do something new or reach a goal for this year. And for some of us, finding a new year’s resolution or goal (that’s just right for us) can be tough. So here are a few ideas to consider.

1.Travel to another state and/or country.

2. Read an entire book series

3. Save a little amount of money each week until the end of the year. Whether its 10 dollars or 1, by the end of the year you’ll be happy you saved.

4. Stay off social media for a day or however long you’re comfortable with.

5. Volunteer somewhere. You’ll feel good about yourself afterwards. Whether it is at an animal shelter or a homeless shelter.

6. Eat healthy for at least a week. Try going vegan or detoxing your body for a while.

7. Quit a bad habit. For instance, quit smoking or biting your nails.

8.Treat yourself to something at least once a week. Buy yourself that favorite shirt you’ve been wanting or that snack you’ve been craving so much.

9. Try a new food.

10. Learn a new language.

11. Foster an animal. If you don’t want to fully adopt a pet, fostering one might be right for you. Not only will you keep an animal off the streets or out of a shelter, you will be giving them the love they deserve until they find their forever home.

12. Create a new food to show off to your friends and family.

13. Start a new tradition for the holidays or just in general.

14. Don’t stress as much. Take more time for yourself this year and take care of your mind and body. Even you need a break sometimes.

15. Meet new people. Yeah it’s nice to be alone, but it’s even nicer to have people around you that you can connect with, especially if they’re new.

16. Try not to procrastinate so much with school or work. This year try and stay on top of everything that is going on in your life. This might also help you to become more organized as well and push yourself more.

17. And most importantly make more time for those who matter.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
