Another Semester Resolution: New Semester New Me?

Maybe this semester I will actually get a 4.0... or at least not stay up until 2 a.m. watching Netflix.

Another Semester Resolution: New Semester New Me?
Glenn Carstens-Peters

To be honest my "senior year bucket list" for last semester didn't exactly get finished. So, since I watched Netflix and did absolutely nothing all break, I decided that this semester would be the semester, the semester that I will accomplish my goals. So what that I say this every semester? This will be the semester that I actually do something. I mean, "new semester, new me" is obviously why I am going to crush it my last semester in undergrad.

1. That 4.0

The ultimate college goal, because "pain is temporary and GPA is forever". Also, my mom told me I can do it and that she is disappointed that I haven't done it more.

2. Read sometimes.

As great as Netflix is, sometimes it's a good idea to expand your horizon with books.

3. Do a cool workout.


First of all, working out is a lot of work and I got lazy in the search for a workout that is unique.

4.Get a tattoo.

I just want one... I have put a lot of thought into it, so don't worry mom.

5. Go to a concert.


...or like 50.

6. Save money.


...I guess I can't live by the "treat yo self" philosophy.

7. Go camping.


Fires, s'mores, and stars? Doesn't get much better than that!

8. Blog more!


Blogging twice a year is a terrible habit... get ready for three times a year!!

9. Cook at home more.

Supposedly it's good for you... all I know is that I get to make a lot of pancakes.

10. Spend more time growing spiritually.


This is the one thing that tends to take a back seat when business comes to play. That is a habit I need to grow from and I truly need to take my faith and relationship with Christ more seriously.


So, these are the 10 things that I hope to accomplish by the time May 5th rolls around. Here is to one more go at the whole undergrad thing. And may the magic of "new semester, new me" bless ya girl!

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
