The 'New Year, New Me' Mindset Is Bullsh*t

Are you suddenly going to change your ways in 2018?

Are you suddenly going to change your ways in 2018? I seriously f*cking doubt it, because I won't be. I'm the same bitch on the same bullsh*t in 2018.

I know I'm going to have some wonderful new memories this year, but I'm also prepared for the horrible, traumatic events that happen (maybe I'm just incredibly cynical, who knows?). However, I know that I'm not going to suddenly change at the start of a new year.

I try to play the New Years Resolution game every year, and I always end up making resolutions that I literally forget by February and what's the point of that? 2017 taught me to make goals throughout the year and spend the entire year growing as a person through a ton of smaller goals.

I will definitely grow as a person over this next year; it's inevitable. However, I know that making New Years Resolutions never works out for me, or really most people. You're literally the same person from the end of 2017 as you are now! How wild!

Chances are that you're not going to *magically* start going to the gym 5 days a week unless you're willing to put in the hard work. You also gotta set realistic goals; One of my goals for this next year is to actually throw out underwear that is beyond the point of wearing again (RIP holey lace panties).

Start setting realistic goals for yourself (and actually write them down somewhere so you don't simply forget them) and get ready to absolutely crush this new year! I have big things planned for 2018 and I can't wait to see what positive growth this year has to bring me.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
