New Years Resolutions You Should Make
The Jazz Corner

Here we are again, a new year along with a new year full of goals that you may or may not accomplish. Whatever your goals may be in life, there are some basic resolutions that should always be a part of your New Years Resolutions list; and no, I'm not talking about cutting down on the amount of drinks you buy at the bar on dollar night.

Be more positive

Now I'm not telling you that you have to be a happy ray of sunshine 24 hours of the day, but instead of constantly complaining, look more toward the bright side of things. Not everything is bad!

Drink more water

Often times, we don't drink enough water every day. Drinking enough water each day can reduce your risk of dehydration, can help clear up any skin problems, aid in weight management, and much more! So put down your third cup of Dunkin' coffee or your can of Coke, and drink some water.

Take more naps

Yes, you read that right. If you didn't get enough sleep throughout the night, help your body out and take a short nap. Naps will help you feel more energized and thus make you more productive during the day. Just don't take a 5 hour nap late in the afternoon, ya feel me?

Be more patient

Did you know that you're not always in a constant race against the world? Have some patience every once in a while. Being more patient can really reduce your stress that you are most likely putting on yourself. Take a breather, everything is going to be OK.

Talk more & text less

One of the best things in the world is good communication. You know what's even better? Communicating with someone in person! Instead of only communicating with others with your handy-dandy phone, why not meet up and have some real social interaction? Your followers on twitter can wait.

Take better care of yourself

This is not just limited to a balanced diet and exercise! This also includes more sleep and learning to love yourself and the body you are in. As Justin Bieber would say, "you should go and love yourself".


Have a great New Year and conquer 2017!

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
