1. Eat Better And Work Out

We come back from school to our homes and tell ourselves that were going to go on all of these different diets and start all these different workout plans. Most of us spend more time on Pinterest finding diets and work out plans than actually dieting or working out...

2. Save Money

From going out to eating out, to nights at the bar, you start summer off broke. You find a job (hopefully) and tell yourself that you're going to save your money for next year. But then you get your first check and reward yourself, and then slowly you find little things that deserve rewards and its kinds like your back at school...broke, alone, and scared.

3. See All Of Your Friends From School

After spending 24/7 with your closest people, it is hard to think of spending time without them. As everyone leaves one by one you say that you'll all meet up in the middle. But as many know that rarely happens because time flies and before you know it you're heading back to school.

4. Go On An Adventure

It all sounds fun - packing up the car, planning out a road trip, and going on an adventure... but so does laying in bed and binge watching Grey's Anatomy.

5. Spend Your Free Time Outside

Between your diet, exercising, seeing friends, and all of the other things you said you were going to do (that don't happen), there really is no free time... and if there is free time, a nap is much more enjoyable.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
