New Years resolutions. We may mock them but every single year, here we are again making them. The truth is everyone everyone wants to get fit, eat better, travel more and make more money but those can be hard to achieve and overwhelming to even think about. It's not practical to think that on January 1 you will just start living your life completely differently and making all these new changes. Although that may be great, maybe just implementing little changes will have just as big of an effect. So let's start the New Year smaller with smaller resolutions, because maybe then we will actually accomplish them and make some well needed changes. Here are 10 small New Years Resolutions you should actually keep this New Year!

1. Detox from technology

Social media, the internet, your e-mails, everything. Just find a day and make it a point to stay off your phone, your computer, and so on.

2. Take pictures of happy moments

Who cares how many likes it could get on Instagram. It's all about the moments of true happiness. Those are the kinds of pictures you should be capturing.

3. Journal

Journaling is so therapeutic and it is the perfect way to help you destress and express yourself. Journals are also really entertaining to look back on in the future, you'll be happy you kept one.

4. Do one thing you've never done before

It doesn't have to be anything drastic, trying a new activity, going somewhere new, any kind of new experience. If you do at least one thing unfamiliar or out of your comfort zone then the year was worth it just because of that.

5. Make Plans

Don't just rely on your phone as your main source of communication, actually go out and do things with the people who matter the most to you.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
