New Years Resolutions That Are Never Kept

New year, new us... for the first month of the year at least.

New Years Resolutions That Are Never Kept

At the start of a new year, we all make a list of things that we want to accomplish in the new year. For a lot of people, the lists appear to be similar. And while these goals are worked on for a little bit, most of the time they do not actually continue to be accomplished as the year goes on. For some they last a week, for others a month, but rare is it that people keep up with their goals during the entire course of the year. Below is a list that will probably look pretty similar to what yours may have looked like for a few years, but that you tend to slip up on as the year progresses.


1. I'm going to work out every day and get into shape.


2. I'm going to eat healthy and give up junk food.


3. I'm going to give up social media and focus on seeing more of the real world.


4. I'm going to work on self love and having confidence in myself.


5. I'm going to clean out my closet and give clothes away to those who need them more than me.


6. I'm going to go out more with friends rather than lay in bed and watch Netflix.


7. I'm going to let go of those in my life who don't appreciate me.


8. I'm going to focus on school and study every day.


9. I'm going to give up cussing and saying bad things.


10. I'm going to stop procrastinating so much.


11. I'm going to work a lot and save my money wisely.


12. I'm going to get more than four hours of sleep every night.


13. I'm going to be independent and focus on me and forget about being in a relationship.


14. I'm going to travel outside of my comfort zone more.


15. I'm going to show up early to everything and stop sleeping in until two in the afternoon.


Happy New Year! May your resolutions last more than two weeks!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
