"New Year, new you." We hear this every year, but what does it truly mean? Plenty of people plan on maintaining a new, positive attitude during the new year along with any other number of resolutions, but within a month or two... Well, things get busy. You get bored. I'm here to tell you that's the worst possible thing you can do for yourself. You're causing yourself to be less confident and less sure in your own goals and expectations. This year, here are some resolutions you should keep up with and follow through with!

1. Get healthy.

Come up with a decent diet plan, go to the gym. It's super helpful for stress relief and self confidence.

2. Get smart.

Study until you're confident with your worst subjects, and more so with your best. This year is the year to get that 4.0 you've been dreaming of.

3. Get talented.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to play the guitar? This is your year to learn. Take some classes, pick up whatever hobby interests you -- from music, to language, to art. Just like the others, your confidence (and brain!) will thank you.

4. Get motivated.

Write a list of all of the goals you have for the year. Make sure you stop at nothing to accomplish them. Cross them off as they come. Feel good about it.

5. Get happy!!

Make sure everything you do is because you want to, not because you feel obligated to. See what you can do to further your happiness this year. Take everyday with a grain of salt. Just do your best this year. That's all anyone can ever ask of you!


Most of all, have a happy New Year!

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
