College Guide: 10 Easy New Year's Resolutions
PEXELS

1. Wake up at least an hour before class. This will give you ample time to get ready and feel awake before class. This positive start to your day will make the new year sparkle!

2. Eat breakfast. I don't care if breakfast is only a handful of almonds, just make sure to eat SOMETHING for breakfast. Not only is this great for dropping holiday weight but it provides you with more energy.

3. Give something up. From that 2nd cup of coffee to the nightly glass of wine, attempt to cleanse your body by giving something up for at least a week.

4. 2017 is a great time to focus on health and nutrition. This semester join a fitness class to get your body moving.

5. Start the new semester with the goal to learn something new and achieve high grades. Hope to make honors this semester? Just trying to finish college? No matter the goal, set it and go after it.

6. Detox negative people from your life. From mean "friends" to old boyfriends, clear out ALL the negativity.

7. In the spirit of cleaning, make sure to clean out your dorm room, junk drawers, and closet of all those clothes you don't need. Consider donating them!

8. Get out of your style comfort zone. The hair cut from sophomore year of high school is not cutting it anymore, so try out a new look!

9. Try to be more organized. If you lay out your clothes and pack your bag the night before, the morning will be a lot easier.

10. Go to bed 8 hours before that alarm goes off. Your body and mind will thank you.

Happy 2017!!!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
