Everybody has resolutions and ways they want to change their life for the better in the new year, such as getting fit, eating better, etc. and although I will strive to work out more and eat well this year, it is not my top priority. I want to spend the majority of the new year with a positive mindset. I know at times, especially in college, it may be hard to stay positive and look at the bright side while your drowning in essays and studying, but I'm going to try the best I can. In the previous years I would not at all say I was a negative person, but at times I would get easily frustrated and stressed when I had a lot going on. In the new year, I am determined to put that behind me and focus on my happiness and well being while keeping a positive mindset. Negative energy and constant stress and frustration can really take a toll on your mental health. So, it's super important to try to not stress yourself out too much whether its in school, or completely not school related. For me, I find it helpful to make lists and get organized when I have a lot going on. It helps me lay out everything I have to get done during that day and it makes it easier to get the job done in a timely manor, stress-free. As well as keeping a positive mindset throughout the year, I also hope to travel more and do more things that make me happy throughout the course of this year.

I hope everyone is having an amazing 2018 so far, and sticking to your resolutions! It's going to be a great year!
