If you're looking for a sign to change, this is it.

Those friends who don’t treat you right, yet you still give free passes to

If they have a big enough mouth to be up in your face they have a big enough mouth to apologize. Cut them out!

That job you hate

Life is too short to stay in a job you hate, perhaps it's time for a career change. What's worse than wasting 2, 5, or twenty years is wasting twenty years and a day. For those working part time, that minimum wage gig where you are getting paid the same amount as everyone else to bust your ass while they sit on theirs is not worth it. There's other ways to make money, start applying elsewhere STAT.

Not putting yourself first

Do yourself a solid and stop being everyone's doormat. Sometimes silence is the best answer. It's not your job to make everyone happy.

Your bad habits

You are your own worst enemy when you skimp out on sleep, procrastinate, or don't take care of your body. These things seem small but make all the difference and add up.

Relationships that make you feel the type of tired which has nothing to do with sleep

Get rid of these leeches or keep them at arms length, before your soul is sucked out of you.

Recollections of anyone it hurts you to think about

Why are you saving those pictures of those friends who stabbed you in the back, and that guy/girl who didn't realize what they had until it was gone? The Instagram archive feature and the trash exists for a reason.

Not being an opportunist

Stop waiting for opportunities to reach you, go get them! Use your connections, update your LinkedIn, post that video, join that club- whatever it is that excites you, don't let another year go by that you aren't shooting for the moon.

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.
