Everyone has those pieces of jewelry that are there staples pieces.

That we wear every day. With our favorite outfit. Wearing it makes us feel good.

For me, it's my blue opal hamsa earrings, my Pandora princess ring and a silver cuff bracelet from Israel.

I know this all might sound silly. However, these pieces of jewelry make me, me. They are a part of me and there are stories behind each piece.

People use jewelry to express themselves. Whether its style, color, finish. Gold, silver, bronze. It's a way to self express your self. If you are feeling bold one day you might wear a big bright necklace. If you want to dress up you might wear dangly earrings.

Jewelry can make an outfit spark. It can add the little touch an outfit needs to look fabulous.

For example, my silver cuff bracelet is customized. I got it in the old city of Jerusalem. It says "follow your heart and you will go far" in Hebrew.

To anyone it might look like an ordinary bracelet, but it's special to me.

Jewelry also changes through the years. Certain jewelry is more mature.

I know that I always used to wear a pearl chocker necklace on a black chord. It was almost like my good luck charm. I then got gifted a new necklace from my mom that was made for me. It is special to me and it now takes place of the pearl chocker necklace.

Certain jewelry can also be sentimental. For example, my cousin has a bracelet she got when she was born with her name on it.

There are so many types of jewelry, some people don't wear any and some people wear a lot. It's adjustable for each person and customizable.

My mom has rings that she always wears, it's a part of her. It's different for everyone.

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.

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.
