7 New Years Resolutions College Students Can Actually Accomplish

Year after year we make resolutions to become better people on January 1st, but nine times out of 10 we ditch them before Feburary. As college students, it is even harder to make ourselves do anything that is good for ourselves, so here are some resolutions you can actually accomplish in 2016.

1. Watch more Netflix. It's not super productive but super good for your soul and your happiness levels.


2. Eat more foods you like. This is actually the exact opposite resolution people usually work for, but who ever wanted to go with the flow anyway? Plus, eating good food is always amazing.


3. Pet more puppies, kittens and other cute animals. Making this one a goal for 2016 will only bring you pure happiness and joy... and who doesn't want more of that?


4. Make it to a class. This one is a very small resolution (which you hopefully don't need) but will make you feel confident going into 2016. Plus, not a lot of people can say they fufilled their resolution by January 15th.


5. Get more sleep. This is also one that will make you far happier than previous resolutions you have made, plus this one actually has great physical and mental benefits.


6. Say "yes" more. This is an actual resolution that people make, but not necessarily college students. Saying "yes" more consists for us usually taking another shot or staying out later than we probably should. Both of which are not (that much of) a problem.


7. Make time for yourself. Again, being college students everything we do is pretty much about ourselves. But make sure to have time to sit and drink a cup of coffee without taking it on the go to class. Eat a meal without studying or doing homework. Go to some event without being required to.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
