We're a week into the New Year, and I've been pondering over the past few weeks on what my New Years resolutions should be. I've gone back and forth over the fact that I think New Years resolutions are a complete waste of time and that I really wanna try something new for the New Year. So these are a few of my actual resolutions, a few things that have inspired me to be a better me this year. Maybe they can give you a little inspiration for a better you this year.

1. Relax.

Stop worrying about the little things, especially things you can't control. Life is too short to be constantly stressing about things that you can't change. If it won't matter in a year, don't stress about it now.

2. Eat Healthy.

Go for the bowl of fruit instead of the bowl of chips. Stand the 10 extra minutes to wait until you get home to eat instead of going through the drive thru. Order a water instead of a coke. Changing your eating habits can change your mood, your body and your day.

3. Cut Out the People Who Don't Better You as a Person.

People who only call you when they need something from you? Cut them off. If they aren't inspiring you to be a better person? Cut them off. Someone who doesn't make you want to be the best you, and is just always dragging you down, is a person you don't need in your life.

4. Stick to the Gym Routine.

If going to the gym isn't already a part of your daily routine, adding it in can be somewhat of a pain in the ass, literally. If getting in shape is on your agenda for this New Year, stick to it, don't lose sight of your goal because it is achievable.

5. Try a Little Harder.

Give it your all in everything you do, whether its studying for a test or your everyday job. Giving it your all is rewarding in the end.


So this New Year actually make a resolution and stick to it. Kick this years ass, make 2017 the best year yet.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
