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.

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.
