8 New Year's Resolutions You're Definitely Going to Break

1.When Netflix asks you if you’re still watching, you’ll take that as a hint that it’s time to do something else. 

Let’s be real, you are only 5 episodes away from finishing Parks and Rec, so you will stop after that. Maybe. 

2. You won’t send drunk text messages after 10 p.m. 

Your mind is telling you no, but the whiskey is telling you yes.  

3. You won’t spend all your Dining Dollars before January is over.  

Ha ha ha HA. With all that “free” Starbucks, pizza and Buffalo Phil’s, that $300 will quickly become $0.   

4. You will work out and eat healthier. 

Netflix > Gym. Donuts > Salad. Beer > Water. It’s basic math.   

5. You will spend your (parents') money more wisely. 

But shoes exist. And bar tabs. And Chipotle.  

6. You will stop procrastinating and do your school work ahead of time.

Studying is not as easy as the Elle Woods-Legally Blonde montage makes it look. Plus, Netflix exists. Refer to number one. 

7. You will start waking up earlier and putting effort into what you look like for class. 

Nope. Five extra minutes of sleep is always worth the risk of running into an ex on the quad and looking homeless.

8. You will spend less time on social media and more time having actual face-to-face contact with people.

Yeah, you're still gonna text your roommate who's sitting ten feet away from you and spend half of dinner Snapchatting pictures of your food. 

 Happy New Year!

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.
