8 Different Resolutions To Have For 2017

Every New Years we make resolutions that usually make it until the end of January before they are broken. There are tons of other resolutions besides "losing weight, eating better, and watching less TV" that are much easier to stick to.

1. Do 1 Kind Thing Each Day

Whether you pay for someone else's coffee every once in a while or just say a few kind words to a passerby, remember it takes no money to say a kind word, you never know what can change someones life!

2. Donate Each Month To A Charity of Your Choice

Whether it's a dollar a day or 50 cents a day it can make all the difference. Save it up throughout the month and give it to someone or a cause that is truly in need.

3. Find A New Hobby And Stick With It

Broaden your horizons and learn something new, take a painting class or a pottery class. It never hurts to try new things and you may make some great friends along the way.

4. Volunteer X Amount of Times This Year

Get out in your community and make a difference. Whether you go out and volunteer weekly or monthly it makes a difference. The best part is that you can do it alone or with friends and family- make it a group resolution!

5. Take A Class You Wouldn't Normally Take

Learn Spanish or French, or about Mayan Culture. You can never be over-educated!

6. Follow Through With Plans

Everyone gets busy and life definitely gets in the way sometimes, but next time you make plans with your friends and family don't blow them off. Actively try and be there.

7. Travel More

Whether its weekend road trips or a Caribbean getaway- do it, try it, go experience all that life has to offer.

8. Do Something Everyday That Scares You

Whether its any of the things listed above or something completely different. Go out and challenge yourself even if it is cliche.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
