Over the weekend while I was doing some late spring cleaning, I found my old, middle school era iPod. By some miracle I still had a charging cord, and I plugged that bad boy in. Let me tell you, scrolling through the music catalog was like stepping into a time machine. I was met with One Direction albums and singles from artists I that I haven't thought of in years.

I have compiled my favorites songs mixed with the "omg I totally forgot that existed" into a playlist on Spotify I wittily titled "Nostaljams."

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!

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.
