7 New Year's Resolutions We've All Made

"I'm going to work out more."

January 1 is around the corner, and we all know what that means -- New Year's resolutions! We have all made resolutions (whether we have kept them is another story entirely). Here is a list of common New Year's resolutions. Hey, you might find one or two on here that you've made!

1. "I'm going to work out more."

Whether we've phrased it as "get fit" or "go to the gym," we have all made this resolution. But why go to the gym when you can go to Buffalo Wild Wings?

Do the carrots and celery that come with my chicken wings count?

2. "I'm going to budget my money better."

Of course you are... after you hit up that sale at Victoria's Secret, and Bath & Body Works... and Target.

3. "My grades are going to come first this semester."

One of my personal favorites. We all have good intentions when it comes to our grades, but binge watching a whole seasons of friends on Netflix is sooo much easier than typing that paper for economics.

4. "I'm going to read more."

Again, why read when there's Netflix?

5. "I'm going to learn a new skill."

If that new skill is watching Netflix without having to press "continue watching," then sign me up.

6. "I'm going to be more productive."

We all say this, and then all of a sudden it's 5 p.m and we've only left the couch to use the restroom.

7. "I'm not going to wear leggings everyday this year."

Haha, okay.

Have you made any of the resolutions on the list? Did you keep them? If you did, kudos to you! And if not, better luck next year!

Where do we begin when we start talking about our roommates? You practically spend every moment with them, they become your second family and they deal with you at your best and at your absolute worst. They are there to make you laugh just a little harder, cry a little less and make each day a little better. We often forget to thank them for the little things that they do to make college even a tiny bit easier and more fun. This list of 26 things are what you should thank your roommates for right this minute and every day that you live with them.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
