1. Eating habits

I've been transitioning into becoming a vegetarian and I hope to keep the progress going. Not only that, but I NEED to stay away from fast food at all costs. Being a vegetarian, you're limited to what you can eat. I have fallen into a deep love triangle between me, pizza, and french fries. This is truly something that messes with my weight and I'm ready to cut it all out.

2. Working out

I am the absolute worst at working out. I used to work out 5 times a week and sometimes twice a day in the beginning of 2016. As the year winded down, so did my working out habits. I used to pay an amazing trainer to help me work out. I stuck to it because I had paid appointments that I couldn't blow off. I plan to save money using her workouts and improve this habit.

3. Waking up earlier

I consistently get tagged in memes making fun of those people who finally get out of bed at 1 or 2 pm. Sadly I want to change the time I fall asleep as well as when I wake up. It seems near to impossible for me to sleep at a decent time and even more impossible to wake up before 12. My math professor actually made fun of me during a lesson because I was complaining about waking up early for class when, in fact, it started at 11.

4. More productive

A big tendency of mine is to put everything off until last minute. It seems to have worked so far, yet it is an extremely stressful time. I want to be able to get up, do grocery shopping, schedule appointments, etc.

These may be the most basic New Years resolutions out there, but it all must improve to make 2017 the best one yet

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

ORHS Graduation
Kristen Sack, ORHS Graduation

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
