New Year's Resolutions I Never Fulfilled

I'm being as honest and guilty as you should be.

We all have New Year's Resolutions that we never fulfill. Most people go for weight loss, because it seems like obese America feels this is the ultimate goal, instead of, you know, ending world hunger. I am reluctantly openly guilty about making these stupid goals that will never become reality. Here is my list.

Learning to ride a bike.

I’m going to be that 30-year-old trying to balance myself on two wheels. Awesome.

Eating healthy.

This is hard, because chocolate tastes good and spinach does not.

Not starting journals and only writing on one page.

Because I like to support the killing of trees for no good reason.

Going skinny dipping.

The thought of something foreign touching my no-no square is enough to keep this one unfulfilled.

Toning up.

If I didn’t do resolution number two, why would I do this one? I just mess up my list.

Writing a book.

Can I write this at the last minute like I do my papers?

Getting a long-term boyfriend.

All of my significant others like to move to different states. That means I’m cute, right?

Letting my hair grow to my butt.

Just kidding, I'm talking about the hair on my head. I’d rather fry my hair and cut it, apparently.

Visiting another country.

But I’d rather spend my money on expensive college and fancy coffee.

Saving money.

I already spent the penny I found on the ground 10 minutes ago.

That year I didn't make one because I'm so edgy...

Ha ha. Look at you now.

Learning how to roller skate.

I can’t even walk, people.

Going to a concert.

I’m pretty much the only person that hasn’t been to one. I honestly don’t even know why this is still on the list. I’m just lazy.

Starting to drive again.

Because when you make your car catch on fire, everyone is reluctant to hand over the keys. My family is going to kill me for joking about this.

Becoming Tumblr famous.

I’m almost there with my three-note post!

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
