Every year comes and goes with new goals and resolutions as we ring in the new year. It's a new chapter, a clean slate, and a fresh start. Most people want to eat healthier or achieve a goal at work. College kids have some very unique resolutions. We're just trying to make it through and start doing the little things would make our lives so much easier. Here are some resolutions you may hear from your average college student this New Years:
1. Save money (instead of blowing it all at the bar)

College students everywhere can relate to these resolutions. They may sound funny, but I believe that they are actually quite achievable too!! I think it would be in every student's best interests to attempt to tackle a few of these resolutions in 2018. After all, we get wiser with age...right?
