With the new year comes new resolutions and goals. Here are 10 easy things to add to YOUR new year's list!
1. Visit your state's capital.
Take a trip to your state capital and explore! Capital cities tend to be big and bustling with city life. Take a day off and go!
2. Compliment someone every day!
Being nice to people is free, and priceless. Brighten someone's day with a compliment, whether it's telling a best friend you are proud of them or telling a stranger you like their shoes, be kind!
3. Go on a road trip!
Whether it's 20 miles or 200, whether it's alone or with friends, take a road trip to somewhere you've never been!
4. Find a good book, and finish it.
Reading is great for the brain and the heart, so find a book and snuggle up in your free time. Feed your imagination!
5. Take the class you've been wanting to
If you're debating taking a certain class--maybe because it doesn't fit your major or you aren't sure you'll fit the program--take it! You'll never know until you try, and it'll give you a broader range of knowledge.
6. Attend a local concert
Large concerts are always fun, but real hidden gems can be found at your local coffee shops or pubs. Check out the venues, and attend a local band's concert.
7. Try meal prepping!
Instead of making vague goals like losing weight or getting healthier, start simple by trying to prep your meals.
8. Learn a new language
Even if it's just basic conversation, learning a new language is amazing and opens your peer group up to even more people.
9. Start a bullet journal
A bullet journal, or any journal in general, is great for keeping up with your schedule, moods, habits, and thoughts.
10. Smile everyday
Smiling has been proven to have a lot of health benefits; a longer life, stress relief, and stronger immune system. Smiling makes you more approachable, and can actually make you feel happier just by doing it!
