6 New Year Resolutions To Follow
Piotr Lohunko

Let's be honest, we all make New Year Resolutions that we never stick to. Finding a resolution isn't the hard part; it's following them. So, perhaps we set our expectations for our resolutions too high. Little do we realize, there are simple resolutions we can follow. Here are 6 resolutions you can make in the New Year, or for that matter, any day of the year.

1. Exercise

I know what you're thinking. Everyone makes this a New Year resolution, right? Well maybe you're thinking too far into this one. Exercising doesn't have to be a daily task of going to the gym and working out. Exercising can be as simple as walking more or doing chores around the house.

2. Stay Positive

Staying positive is a great New Year resolution. Try to get rid of all the negativity in your life. Being positive creates less stress and will make the New Year not only a better year for you, but a healthier year for you.

3. Eat Healthier

Of course, I know we've all tried this resolution. Eating healthier doesn't just mean dieting and cutting out all of your favorite foods. You can do something as simple as adding more vegetables on your plate and drinking more water.

4. Make Time for Yourself

It's important to make time for yourself. Don't force yourself to be everywhere at once. Find a safe space and do something you enjoy every once in awhile.

5. Meet New People

This resolution doesn't mean cutting out people in the New Year that you've already met, it means keeping them and meeting more people. It's always good to meet new people because it could lead to better opportunities and expands your social life. Besides, you can never have too many friends, right?

6. Get Involved

Do something different. Join a club, get a job, participate in community service, raise awareness. There's always something you can do to get involved. I believe this is a great resolution to follow.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
