8 New Year's Resolutions For The Basic AF Girl
Lifehack

Basic girls look forward to the New Year just as much as they look forward to the arrival of the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks, Christmas/Ugg Season and all things Halloween related. We (and yes we, because just like many other girls, I am just as basic as the next one) look forward to celebrating the New Year with their best friends, family, drinks, food and sparklers. With the welcoming of the New year, many people make New Year's resolutions, or promises to themselves for the new year to "workout more," "eat healthier," or to "create more positivity in my life." BUT these promises we sometimes don't keep to ourselves during the new year. Basic girls are just the same, and here are a few of the New Year's resolutions that basic AF girls make to themselves:

1. Cutting back on the amount of Starbucks that you drink per week...okay maybe just per day.

Maybe you'll only go to Starbucks 4 days a week instead of the usual 7 days a week that you go....but you can still go multiple times a day right?


2. Eating healthier so you can achieve the perfect VS body by spring break.

After watching the Victoria Secret Fashion Show while shoving mounds of ice cream in your face, you've decided that for the New Year, you're going to drop all the unhealthy food, and starting eating healthier (no more ice cream, oreos, cake or junk food for you!). You want to be rocking that VS body by spring break.

3. Dropping all the drama from your life

Save the drama for your mama, am I right? Your life seems to have a lot of drama in it, boy drama, girl drama, you name it, you probably have experienced it and you "can't even" with the amount of drama in your life. This next year, you promise to keep all the drama to a minimum...unless some girl looks at your man the wrong way then it's fair game.

4. Spending less money.

Every time you look at your bank account, you cry a little bit inside looking at the one cent balance that exists in there. You promise to yourself that you're going to cut back on buying coffee (Dunkin' and Starbucks included), food, clothes and even alcohol.

5. Limiting the amount of times you go out every week.

Maybe instead of going out Wednesday through Saturday, I'll limit myself to only Friday and Saturday. But so many cute outfits to wear, so many cute Instagrams to take and all my friends are going. Okay, maybe you'll only cut out Wednesdays for now.

6. Committing to changing and sticking to your Instagram aesthetic.

Instagram is a serious thing, and you have to make sure that your aesthetic is perfect with every single photo. You're committing to yourself for the New Year to not be such a slacker when it comes to your Instagram feed.

7. Working out more.

In addition to eating healthier in the New Year, you also want to workout more often. Sure, 7 days a week seems like a stretch, but you're determined to get your butt in shape to achieve that VS body. 7 days a week...I can do it...okay maybe just 5 days....3 days...okay one day, that's doable.

8. Stepping up your wardrobe game.

Pinterest has you inspired for new ways to spice up your look in the New Year. You want to be a walking Pinterest model, and even though you have a ton of clothes already, it's time to revamp your closet. Time to get trendy!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
