New Year's Resolutions Are Never Stupid, And You Should Never Let Anyone Tell You Otherwise

Ahh, the new year. It is a very exciting time for most, and for many, it comes with a few to-dos for the year to better them as a person. A lot of people come out of the woodwork online and complain about resolutions, saying how they are dumb and if you want to better yourself you should just do it instead of using the new year as motivation. I'm here to tell you that's bullshit. You should use whatever you want as motivation to better yourself. Make a list of what you want to do this year, make it your goal. Complete as many things as you possibly can.

New year, new you, same you, an upgraded version of you, whatever you want to be! Making new years resolutions is a way to refresh yourself and push yourself to move forward with your own personal growth. If you need it to be a new year for you to up your game, let it be!

If you can motivate yourself in March or October or any other time to just change who you are then great for you! But telling others that the way they choose to better who they are and learn to love themselves more is wrong, isn't okay. Maybe YOUR new year's resolution should be to be less of an asshole and support your friends, family, or even strangers to work on who they are however and whenever they see fit.

So what if someone else wants to lose weight, get more organized, or find their soul mate? Whatever it is they want to do, and whenever they want to do it, let them be. It's 2019 people, it's past time we start letting everyone be themselves without question, comment or concern from anyone else.

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.
