Because we all have them at some point in our lives.

Don't Call My New Year's Resolutions Dumb
We Know Your Dreams

A new year means there will be many new resolutions. Whether it's exercising more or eating healthier, we all have something that we want to do to better improve ourselves. Many people try to stick to these new year resolutions as best as they can. Other people think it is completely ridiculous to make a resolution.

Personally, I make resolutions because there are some aspects of my life that I do want to improve. I usually do succeed with my resolutions because I write them in the front of the journal that I keep every year. I find that it is easier to keep up with something that you want to achieve by keeping a reminder somewhere you will see it every day.

I really do not think that resolutions are stupid or dumb. Yeah, it seems like everyone gives them up within the first two weeks of the new year, but there are people out there that want to keep up with their resolutions. I say more power to people who want to change their lives because the new year. A new year makes everyone excited for what the year has in store for them.

2016 was a really weird year for everyone that I know, and I am sure it was as equally weird for everyone else. I think that keeping resolutions is just a way to set goals for the new year. We all have goals we want to accomplish, and that is important to us. Because we are constantly looking for ways to improve ourselves, it is important that we keep setting multiple goals for ourselves. I do not think we have to set our resolutions in the beginning of the year. I think it is completely okay to set them any time of the year.

We are constantly changing and improving ourselves. We are human and we constantly change. Because of this, it is important to constantly keep our goals updated with our lives. That is why I think it is important for us to have resolutions at some point in the year. I can say that my resolutions or goals for the year are constantly changing because I am constantly changing. I am growing. I am learning. I think it is important to keep this in mind.

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 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?
