9 Typical New Years Resolutions Every College Student Attemps

Ahhh, a new year... which automatically comes along with a bunch of new resolutions that we all try to abide to in order to better ourselves.

Which is all great and all, don't get me wrong... but how likely is it that we're actually gonna stick with them as consisteny as we have planned in our heads?

1. "I'm going to the gym every day, 7 times a week"

....but then you get to the gym and attempt to lift something and it ends out looking like this.


2. "I'm going to start eating healthier"

You'll probably start questioning everything you eat....


....and then you'll just get fed up with it and be like


3. "Less spending, more saving"

Yeah, you'll be on a budget until your best friend asks if you want to hit up Chipotle for dinner.

4. "I'm going to start going out as little as possible on the weekends from now on"

I've heard that one before. That'll probably last for about a week or two.

5. "No more procrastinating"

6. "I'm gonna travel so much more"

�With what money?!


7. Less time spent on social media

You'll probably be reactivating your accounts again within a few days.

8. Getting a better sleeping schedule in order.

But then you start watching your favorite show and each episode keeps getting better and better...


9. Staying organized

You'll probably go on a cleaning frenzy for a week and then you'll let everything go back to the same way it was before.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin.
