I get it, keeping those resolutions from January has been hard. The good news is that a new semester is basically a redo and a second shot at seriously going to the gym everyday. So, get organized, eat healthy, and do you this year! Make some resolutions this semester that are actually not that hard to keep.

You deserve to be at your best, girl!

1. Make more friends.

Opening up and introducing yourself to more people can create so many possibilities. You could be making a lifelong friend in class and just not know it yet.

2. Join a club.

Colleges and universities are full of clubs and opportunities that you can learn so much from to not only advance your skills, but have fun while doing it.

3. Strive for the best in your classes.

Stop turning in half-hearted assignments an hour before they're due. Instead, try to make time for them throughout the week, even if it is for a couple of hours. It makes all the difference I promise.

4. Work on your resume.

The big girl world is not that far away and keeping an updated resume on hand for that job or internship that comes up is something that you could be very grateful for in the end.

5. Focus on you.

Ignore the weird boys and drop the toxic friends. College is all about you and no one else has any right to infringe on your happiness and success.

6. Fit the gym in your schedule.

Working out is good for not only the body, but your mind, too. Taking a workout buddy is always a good time, too.

7. Prepare healthy meals and snacks.

Meal prep Sundays and smoothies for breakfast can make a huge difference in your day to day routine. You'll notice a change compared to eating 5 slices of pepperoni pizza for lunch.

8. Keep yourself organized.

Mental notes can only carry you so far. Buy a cute planner or notebook and ensure that you have all the right due dates for those big assignments and events that you don't want to miss out on.

9. Show gratitude.

Of course your parents know that you're not a spoiled brat, but take the time to thank them for buying you groceries. Thank the custodian that asked if they could take your trash. Thank the Resident Assistant that knocked on your door and told you that they're available if you need anything.

10. Maintain a good sleep schedule.

Go to bed early and tell your friends you'll go out with them on the weekend. Beauty sleep is a real thing, ladies. Make sure you get enough of it, so you can ace this year!

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
