5 Things You Can Actually Stick To Accomplishing This New Year
Maggie Burton

Every year we say we're gonna do, sometimes, crazy things. Some people say they're gonna lose weight, read/write a book, or maybe learn how to do something new. This year, here is a list of 5 goals you can actually stick to for the new year.

1. Stress less and worry less.

Everyone has stress and worries. Let's face that fact. We will never have a worry free or stress free life. It's time to embrace the stress and worry and overcome it. Find something that helps you relax. School and work can be stressful and overwhelming. Who says we have to give into that? There are plenty of ways to destress and relax. Find something that you like doing. Whether it's a relaxing bubble bath or maybe coloring, do something that helps you relax.

2. Be kind to others.

I know there are people you may or may not like the best. Sometimes you have to just put on a smile to make someone's day. This is something you can do all the time. Whether it's smiling at someone who looks sad, helping a friend study for a test, or just saying hi to someone. It will make your day to make someone else happy too.

3. Love more.

Love makes the world go round. At least that's how a saying I know goes. This year make an effort to love others. Love your family more. Love your friends more. Love your neighbor that plays the music too loud. Love others the way you would want to be loved. I promise you, loving and doing things for others will only make your year more rewarding.

4. Be a better version of you.

When it comes to you, you don't have to change your looks. You don't have to get a new hairstyle or change your makeup, just be a better version of you. Perfect the person inside and not worry so much about the outside appearance. Someone out there likes you for you so just be you! BeYOUtiful!

And finally,

5. Have fun!

Life is about learning how to dance to the beat of your own drum, dancing and singing in the rain, and about the moments that take your breath away. Study hard and do well in school but never forget to reward yourself and have fun. Reward yourself with a night out with the girls, have friends over for a movie night, or go bowling. Never forget the little things or people in your life that matter the most.

So there you have it a simple list of things to accomplish this new year. Don't worry about setting those big goals you'll give up after one week. Set simple goals that you know you won't forget!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
