Have you ever wandered blindly into a new year wondering what you can do to change yourself? Here are seven of the best ideas you can put as your resolution this year! It's never too late to begin!

1. Be more fit.

The #1 Resolution that everyone claims to have is to either lose weight or work out more. Sure, this is a great resolution to have - but you shouldn't focus on that one in particular if there are other things that you want to achieve!

2. Read more books.

Whether you're an avid reader or not, studies have shown that if you read more books that your vocabulary skills increase as the year passes. Increasing the amount of reading that you do every year could potentially increase your vocabulary enough that you can pass that exam that you've been struggling to comprehend.

3. Learn a new language.

Of course, you can't learn an ENTIRE language in one year unless you move to a new area where one is spoken. Even then, it would be difficult to cram the entire language into your mental dictionary. However, beginning to study a new language can also help your vocabulary increase. Who knew?

4. Travel to new places.

I know this one is definitely on MY list of Resolutions. Traveling to new places can help you understand your surroundings better, and you could possibly meet somebody new. A lover, perhaps?

5. Cook more often.

A lot of people don't think about this one, but cooking is found to be relaxing to most people. If you don't enjoy this activity, then this one definitely isn't the Resolution for you.

6. Go shopping less.

If you begin to spend less money and store more of it away, it's possible that you could have enough money to go on that trip you've wanted to go on for the past few years.

7. Take up a new hobby.

Whether it's fishing, crocheting, knitting, singing, or writing - there's a hobby out there for you! Take a few minutes out of your day to find something relaxing and calming that you can do in order to take more stress out of your day. This is one you definitely won't regret.

Whether you decide to look into following any of these Resolutions or come up with your own, it's always a good idea to start thinking about your options before the end of January. Who knows, maybe you'll find a Resolution that fits you in late-December and still complete it before 2020!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
