10 New Semester Resolutions (And How You'll Break Them)

#NewSemesterNewMe amirite?? At the beginning of every semester, we all regain a bit of the glistening hope we had coming into our freshman year of college. We swear that this semester we'll be smarter/fitter/healthier/more put together. For some of us, these resolutions become a reality. However, for most we're lucky if they even last through syllabus week. For that underachieving majority, here are the 10 new semester resolutions and how you'll break them.

1. "I'm not going to skip a single class."

Let me know how that goes when you try and wake up for your 8 a.m. after being out all night, it's 20 degrees outside, and you're at the best part of whatever show you're currently binging on Netflix.

2. "I'm not eating out/ordering food/getting fast food at all this semester."

*five minutes later gets text from friend to go to Chick-fil-A and caves*

3. "I'm going to the library everyday."

Also you: "My teacher never gives reading quizzes and I can totally finish that paper in one night (or two hours before it's due)."

4. "I'm going to the gym at least four times a week."

Remember that Netflix series? How about your comfy bed?? Are you really going to leave those to torture yourself on the treadmill??? Didn't think so...

5. "I'm not going to go out every night of the week."

*gets text from same friend who wanted Chick-fil-A about a huge party tonight that is going to definitely be the best night ever and caves*

6. "I'm going to keep my clothes off the floor and clean every Sunday."

Hey, you know where everything is when it's messy! And you have a clear path from your bed to the door, what more could you need?

7. "I'm going to take more pictures with my friends. We need more memories!"

*looks so bad in the pictures taken the first night and decides pictures/memories aren't that important*

8. "I'm going to remove my makeup every night before I go to bed."

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Right...

9. I'm never talking to (insert jerk boy's name here) ever again. Under any circumstances!"

Oh come on. You already know you're going to respond to his "Where you at" text so fast you won't even process what just happened until the damage is already done.

10. "I'm not going to spend any unnecessary money/try and save some."

*spends $50 at the bar buying drinks for random strangers*

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
