1. Eat at home a little more

Instead of going out all of the time, learn how to meal prep and cook at home. Not only does it feel good when you have the hang of it, but it also cuts down spending in your wallet and calorie count

2. Read and listen more

You'll be amazed at how much more you're aware of. It will also give you a sense of humility and empathy when you become a better listener.

3. Learn what moderation is

This doesn't only count in the food department. Instead of spending 3 hours of work or school, learn to moderate and spread out your time so you're getting a little bit of everything in day. You'll not only enjoy your day more, but you will also become a better time manager.

4. Say thank you and give recognition

This costs a lot less than that fancy new gym membership - it also goes a lot further. Start giving our holiday and birthday cards - people love them! Tell people thank you. Recognize that this person did a great job or went out of their way to do something. You would want the same.

5. Walk instead of drive

There's so much to be gained from walking. Not only will you burn off calories, but you'll also have time to reflect and get to know your neighborhood.

6. Practice patience

All good things come to those who wait

7. Decrease frequency and depth of toxic relationships

Don't give in to those people who make you feel terrible and have nothing positive to provide in your life. You don't need to ignore or cut-off people, but don't make it your entire circle of relationships.

8. Go vote

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
