New Year's (Never) Resolutions
Gretchen Rubin

New Year's Resolutions are the best part of New Year's, am I right? No. They are the most tedious. Which is why 90% of the time, these resolutions are not kept for the next 365 days. Here is a list of the most popular unkept New Year's Resolutions.

1.) Working Out

We all know that we have said this at least once in our lives, so what's the issue. Well, we have those days where we just don't feel good and we are sick and we just don't want to work out anymore.

2.) Stay Fit and Healthy

I know I have said this one in the past, too. But this is the easiest to break. We always say "Oh well today is my cheat day!" but then those cheat days just become more and more frequent until we even forget that we're supposed to be staying healthy.

3.) Fall in Love

This is a simple solution. You cannot force yourself to fall in love. It will happen when it is meant to happen.

4.) Spend Less, Save More

Good luck. That's all I can say. You say this now but in a month or two, your favorite movie came out on DVD and you have to buy it. Or there was this really cool thing that you saw in the store that you HAVE to get...well, spending less does not last for too long but it was worth a try!

5.) Spending More Time With Family and Friends

This one is favorably achievable. Sometimes, though, it just does not work out when you get upset at a family member or friend so you stop hanging out with them.

These are just a few of the many possible New Year's Resolutions that people do not keep. So this year, when making your resolution: Keep it simple, make it tangible, and remember it EVERY DAY.

Good Luck!!

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
