These aren't the usual New Years Resolutions.

New Year Motivation

2017 is just a few short weeks away. Where in the world did 2016 go? Why are we getting so old? Why does time seem to be going faster and faster as the years go by? I'm not normally a fan of New Years Resolutions, because they always die off by mid-January. That's why I'm not making any resolutions, however, I do believe that the New Year brings new opportunities. There's nothing wrong with making 2017 better than 2016. Is that cliche? Probably. Here's some inspirational quotes to get you ready to make 2017 your bitch.

Who doesn't love being fierce?

You have the power to choose your priorities, whether it be becoming successful, your family, your own personal happiness.. whatever it may be. Don't let society pressure you!

There's a reason why those asshole people aren't in your life anymore. Don't let the New Year change your opinion! Don't say: "It's a New Year, things can change." NO. They really can't. People don't change. They're still the same assholes they were last year. You're MUCH better off.

Yep, I'm one of those people who despises Monday's. You need to find something you're passionate about, no matter what it is. Teaching, art, music, business, whatever floats your boat. If you wake up on Monday, excited about going to work or going to school, you're doing something right.

Seriously though. Don't put up with any crap. You ain't got time for that! You do you, you focus on you, and don't worry about other people and their drama.

Last but not least, this is one of my favorites. It really is never too late to get your shit together! 2017 will be your year! Keep working your ass off, I promise it will pay off in the long run. You can do anything you put your mind to!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
