5 Goals For 2017 Everyone Should Have

1) Spend less money, save more money

Goal: Save money for something big and worth it. For example, vacations, concerts, movie nights, road trips, eating out with friends, and other fun activities. If you spend money on little things, such as buying a cup of coffee every morning, you'll realize it adds up and you can't afford the big things you want.

2) Travel more

Goal: see more of the world! "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." Saint Augustine said it best. We have one life to live so make the most of it. Go see the world, experience new cultures, try new food, learn a new language! Our world is so big, why stay in one place?

3) Be healthy

Goal: to live a healthier life. You shouldn't starve yourself or restrict your eating. Instead strive to make your body healthy and strong. Workout to enhance you endurance, make your muscles stronger, and help yourself be more balanced and flexible. Eat healthy foods that are good for your body. But don't forget to let yourself indulge in the good things once in while, that's why they're called treats!

4) Spend more time with people that matter

Goal: strengthen relationships with the important people in your life. Friends that stress you out, make you unhappy, or make you feel bad about yourself are people you don't need in your life. At the end of the day, its not what you are doing but who you are with. So take the time to let them know how important they are to you and work on keeping that positivity in your life.

5) Be happy

Goal: to be happy. Sometimes, we tend to focus on all the negatives in our lives. The things we don't have or the things that go wrong. Instead, focus on what you love about your life. There are a million reasons to be happy! Do what you love. We have one life to live, so enjoy everyday and live life to the fullest!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
