28 New Year's Resolutions You Can Actually Keep
Rhett Allain

Nothing feels worse than making a New Year's Resolution and failing to stick with it for more than a few days. This year, I have collected several responses from fellow (anonymous) college students to help you out with some resolutions you'll actually be able to accomplish! Remember: you have an entire year to get these done. Now get out there and succeed!

1. "Spend an entire day binge watching Netflix."

2. "Go to the gym at least once."

3. "Go the entire week without skipping a class."

4. "Use an entire eos chapstick by the end of the year (no losing it)!"

5. "Finish a box of wine in a weekend."

6. "Eat an entire small pizza by yourself."

7. "Say 'hi' to one person a day."

8. "Change your sheets once more than you did last year."

9. "Open that textbook you bought at least once."

10. "Think something nice about yourself every day."

11. "Actually take those vitamins your mom sent to school with you."

12. "Pet every dog you can."

13. "Drink more water!!! And more vodka!!!"

14. "Always say yes to mozzarella sticks."

15. "Memorize all of Fergalicious."

16. "Have more than $4.75 in your bank account at all times."

17. "Do your laundry before running out of clothes."

18. "Write the correct year on your assignments."

19. "Make sure Res Life doesn't find your bunny."

20. "No blacking out on weekdays."

21. "Dance less like a white girl."

22. "Don't fall asleep in the library."

23. "Procrastinate productively--learn the Single Ladies dance instead of doing that paper."

24. "Actually get rid of the clothes you don't wear."

25. "Call your parents once a week."

26. "Remember to take off your makeup before bed."

27. "Get a fish and don't name it after a human."

28. "Buy yourself some festive socks!"

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
