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!!!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
