New Year, Better Me

New Year, Better Me
itsecurityguru.org

Let me hop onto the New Years Resolution bandwagon, and then hitch that bandwagon to the "New year, new me" bandwagon, and then I'll hook that one onto the "I'm going to be healthy this year" bandwagon, because thats exactly what I'm doing.

I just want to be... better. Better attitude (okay yeah I'll probably still be a sarcastic, cat-loving asshole but that's not the point), better health choices, better stress management, better everything!

Okay, first thing first. The most important thing I want to better about myself in 2017 is my health. And yes, part of it is the cliche "I'm going to lose a bunch of weight" resolution, but it's also my overall health. I am that friend of yours who is ALWAYS (and I mean always) sick. I always have a stuffy nose, am coughing up a lung, or am just casually dying of some unidentifiable virus that no doctor actually knows how to help (this actually just happened to me, I'm not overreacting). I'm going to invest in a multivitamin and start taking that religiously. And on top of that I am going to start living a healthier lifestyle in terms of my relationship with food and exercise.

My attitude is usually fine, so I guess it's more focused on my attitude when I'm not fine, and how I process being upset. I don't want to keep my emotions pent up, so this year I am going to do my best to speak my mind (in the most polite way possible) whenever I am upset, so I don't have these negative feelings coursing through me. This also goes into my stress management issue, because as a college student I am stresssssssed. Less procrastinating, and I will make sure I find some time to unwind and take a load of.

This year is about me. Healthy body. Healthy mind. Healthy me.

So long 2016, I've welcomed 2017 with open arms!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
