Resolutions For The New Year

With 2017 right around the corner, we need to talk about something. Resolutions. Every year millions of people vow that they will do something that they have never done before and stick with it. For many people, it is loosing weight or eating healthier and for some it can be as easy as texting their mom every day. There is no end to what a resolution can be and that is amazing. Your resolution should be personal to you to make you a better person or to make yourself feel good. Don't do a resolution because someone else is telling you to. I compiled a list of popular resolutions in case you need a little inspiration to what you could possibly attempt in the new year.

1. Lose weight or eat healthy.

I know I mentioned this one in my introduction, but it is the perfect one to start off this list. If you are trying to get healthy, now is the time to do it. The new year is a clean slate for you. You can reinvent yourself however you see fit.

2. Become more organized.

This resolution is a personal favorite of mine. It is always a good idea to get ahead and be as organized as humanly possible. This resolution can be using a planner or cleaning up clutter.


3. Do a random act of kindness every day.

It is always a good thing to share a little happiness everyday in your actions. The world could use a little more love throughout the year.


4. Read more.

Books are awesome. If you spend a little time a month to read a little more, that could help you immensely. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but have a little fun with your book choice if you choose this resolution.

5. Grow mentally.

This should be the mindset for every year. Growing mentally is amazing. You realize things about yourself and you grow as a person. The best part of this is that you don't have to actively do anything for it. All you need to do is grow just a little bit and you have reached your goal.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
