New Years Resolutions You Shouldn't Keep
hercampus

So most of us, if not all of us, never really keep our New Year's resolutions. We might keep a couple of them, but if we are being honest with ourselves, most fade from memory by the time February hits. With that being said, this year I've created a fool-proof plan to force myself to see these 31 resolutions to an end...this should work right?

1. Work out less.

2. Binge Netflix TV shows more often.

3. Fail Classes this semester.

4. Be a hermit.

5. Budget for only 1 month this year.

6. Read 1 book this year.

7. Start smoking.

8. Drink 1 soda everyday.

9. Keep my life in a disorganized mess.

10. Keep procrastinating.

11. Check Facebook once every 15 minutes.

12. Watch a marathon instead of run in one.

13. Experience less music.

14. Eat fast food more.

15. Become an alcoholic.

16. Snack on junk food once a day.

17. Cut any existing ties with an old friend.

18. Watch YouTube more.

19. Buy more useless things.

20. Worry about the little things.

21. Forget to recycle.

22. Believing that I can't do it.

23. Over-use the "snooze" button.

24. Post more filtered images of myself of social media.

25. Leave that "one room" extremely messy.

26. Stay up later.

27. Remember to hold on to that grudge.

28. Show up late to everything.

29. Write a letter to future self, then forget to send it.

30. Grab a journal, forget to write in it.

31. Finally, (the only real one) forget to keep all of these!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
