5 New School Year's Resolutions

New Years Eve isn't the only time people make resolutions. Every school year we all make new resolutions to try and be better at something, or maybe a little bit of everything. So here are 7 new school years resolutions that people are for sure going to make, and good luck keeping them!

1. Studying More

Let's be real, we could all probably study at least a little bit more. I mean that's why we are here right? To learn and get those dream jobs we've had since we could barely spell. I know for sure I can. I was one of those kids who was just blessed in high school and easily made A's without ever picking up my books. College has been quite the adjustment, and slowly I am learning how to study more and more.

2. Hitting The Gym More

Hitting the gym is not only a great way to relieve stress but is just so healthy for you. I make this resolution at least once a week and to be fair if I even went once a week that would be a huge improvement. I know how hard it is to get yourself motivated to get there, especially if you work 30 hours a week on top of classes like I do. But I'm going to keep making this resolution, eventually it might stick.

3. Going out more or less.

I tend to fall more on the "need to go out less" side of this spectrum. Constantly having to remind myself that even though I willingly go to parties as a designated driver sometimes or don't drink every time, I always want to go out and see everyone. It's time to focus more on school Sara, get your self in check! But if you're a wee bit of a shut in, get your self out there. Meet some people. You'll be surprised that the girl you stumbled in to the bathroom with, and giggled all night with could be your chocolate to your peanut butter.

4. Getting Involved On Campus

Now this one I have done pretty well at. I am part of Greek Life, I've joined two other groups since becoming a member of Kappa Tau Epsilon. First one being Alternative Breaks. I got to go all the way to Atlanta, Georgia with some of the most amazing people I have ever met and got to work with some of the coolest and sweetest kids in the world. And lastly, here I am writing my second article for the third organization I have joined; the odyssey! So please no matter what you are into get out there, get involved, and try new things!

5. Sleeping More

Believe it or not, we are not invincible, and we need sleep. Sleeping 3-4 hours a night average is not enough. Skip that party, and stay in. Go to bed a 9pm once in a while. I know it's hard, and even in high school I could barely fall asleep before midnight. Take the time, you wouldn't believe what a good night's can do for you.

So everyone reading this out there make some of these and really stick to them to make for a better year and a better self!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
