Are your Resolutions Doable?

It's about getting them done, not forgetting about them.

Are your Resolutions Doable?
Giphy

The New Year is a time when you might feel like you’re on top of the world. You make a lot of resolutions, but by the six-month mark, those resolutions are out the window. For the year of 2016, I made about five resolutions related to books and I only met two. Here are three ways for you to get your resolutions checked off your list.

Stick to things that you know you’ll get done.

Everyone is different. That’s also a reason as to keep your resolutions particular to you. If you know that it’s impossible for you to wake up every day at 5 a.m., but 7 a.m. is manageable for you, do that instead.

Be realistic.

This point ties into the previous one but it’s true. Being realistic to the resolutions you want to meet this year is key for you to finish them.

Make chores fun.

Most chores are not fun to do. They're boring, but necessary. I get passionate about cleaning the house by listening to audiobooks or podcasts. It sort of makes me forget that I’m doing a chore.

New Year's resolutions are doable if they’re things that stay within your range of motion. By no means is doing things out of your range a bad thing, but if you try to do all of the things at once, then there’s a possibility that you won’t do any of it.

I hope you had a wonderful New Year and your year is full of doing things you enjoy.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
