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.

I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.
