1. Get at least 7 hours of sleep a night

So, you got a solid 5 hours of sleep a night last semester and ended up taking a nap in your 9 am lecture, right? Let's shoot for a few more hours of sleep a night this semester and avoid those naps during class.

2. Exercise a little more

We'll be honest, the cafe offers tons of food for us which also isn't always the healthiest. On top of that, it's a buffet style too. How about we aim to avoid those pesky few pounds this semester and exercise a bit more.

3. Join a club

We have our daily routines. Go to class, get lunch, go to class, watch Netflix, and go to bed. We stay in the same rut each day for the most part and don't ever stray from that. This semester, go join a club! Get out of your rut and meet some new people too!

4. Spend less

Admit it, that Wendy's was not worth it at all. Okay, maybe it was at the time, but after the holidays your bank account was already hurting enough. One less food trip a week won't hurt you.

5. Finish that paper a day in advance

We all procrastinated enough last semester which caused some unneeded stress. That paper loomed over us for weeks, but we still chose to wait, didn't we? Let's cut down on the stress and get ahead of the game early.

6. Make a new friend

You know that weird kid in 2B? He's actually really nice and gives out chocolate.

7. Call home more

You know you miss them, you know you love them, call them. They miss you, they love you, they want to talk. So five minutes turns into an hour, family is worth it.

8. Try extreme couponing

You know how we talked about cutting out that extra meal during the week? Well, now you can have it! I don't have much advice for you, but good luck! If you're good enough, maybe you can have your own special called "Extreme Couponing: College Edition".

9. Get up before noon on the weekends

You're wasting away your whole day if you stay in bed. Get out and get some exercise. Maybe do you extreme couponing today. There are so many options available to you so why waste them for a little extra sleep?

10. Get that 4.0

You can do it! I've given you a recipe for success this semester so stick to it and see that GPA rise! You'll make mom proud too.
