It's that time of the year again. It's New Year's resolution time. Yes, it is well into the new year by now, but you probably broke all your resolutions like 3 days in. So if you're looking for some new New Year's resolutions, look no further.

1. Buy one less latte a week.

We all love coffee that isn't brewed at home, but it takes its toll on the bank account. By cutting back on one a week, that's $4 more in your pocket, and multiply that by 50 (since we're already into the new year of course), that's $200 in your pocket. That money can be put to good use, like buying a Keurig to make more coffee at home.

2. Be sure to accomplish one thing each day.

Everyone loves the feeling of accomplishing something, so why not have that feeling every day? Doesn't matter how big or small your task is. You finally folded your laundry? That deserves a high five. You applied for a job? Congrats, man! Just find at least one thing to do and DO IT each day.

3. Read more.

Reading doesn't always mean reading a full-length novel. Don't read the news enough? Start doing that! Or if you're a student and are always reading things you don't want to, like boring textbooks, start reading for yourself this year.

4. Take more naps.

The best way to be productive? Being well-rested! And you're not well-rested unless you take naps! The key thing is to take power naps since you don't have all day to sleep. You gotta be productive in the new year!

5. Show more kindness.

Text your homies saying you got home safely. Text your mom randomly that you love her. Tip a waiter a bit more than usual. Spread love in this crazy messed up world that we live in.

These will be a piece of cake compared to the ones you (probably) already broke! Get to it!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
