As the year comes to a close, people usually take this time to reflect on themselves and the choices they've made. New Years is a time to make changes, to improve yourself and your life. While everyone makes New Years Resolutions, and swear they're going to keep them this year, I'll say about 9 out of 10 people actually do.

I'm happy you are making these resolutions to try and better yourself, but come on, we know you're going to give up two weeks into the year.

1. I'm going to join a gym

Yeah right! Who are you fooling? You probably won't even step foot into a gym until half-way through 2017. If by some miracle you do actually go, it'll be for a few weeks so you can say you tried it, post some selfies on Instagram, and then decided it wasn't for you.

2. I'm going to eat healthy/clean/vegan/whatever

Sure you are. Let me know how that week long of eating kale salads are while I'm over here stuffing my face. I admire you for trying to stick this one out, but life sucks without some nice greasy food and you know it.

3. I'm going to cut out people from my life

So once it's January first you're just going to start blocking people? It's hard to suddenly just start eliminating people from your life, and just because its a new year doesn't really give you a decent reason to start. Grow a back bone any other time of the year.

4. I'm so done with (insert s/o here) next year

No, you're not. Be done with them right now, other wise you're going to keep sticking around with them and you two will end up like Ron and Sammi, and we all know how that went.

5. New year, new me.

STOP SAYNG THIS OMG STOP IT!! You want to change and that is awesome but you never become a new you! You just eat less Taco Bell or talk to less people, calm down. This phrase is so over done and annoying. It's impossible to take this seriously anymore.

Stop waiting until New Years to make a change in your life. If you want to get healthier or wherever it is you want, then do it now. Stop putting it off, or bragging about it on social media and then giving up on it. Commit or shhh.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
