Everyone is so quick to make a list of New Year resolutions but what about new semester resolutions? Spring semester is the perfect time to perfect all your flaws and learn from your mistakes during your fall term. Here are 10 of my resolutions. Build from them and make your own. There is never a bad time to make a positive change.

1. Get more sleep: No this does not mean to sleep through your 8ams or nap your life away, but do your best to not pull an all-nighter every night of the week.

2. Read your textbooks: You paid how many dollars for your textbooks? Make the money worth it and actually take the time to read what is in them.

3. Try new things: This one goes for a lot of things, try new foods, try new classes, try new activities

4. Get involved: Your school is bound to have a club or sports team that would love to have you join. It’s a great way to make friends and maybe find a new a new favorites Tuesday night activity.

5. Exercise: College shouldn’t be only about working your brain but your body too! I’m not having to go pump the iron at the gym with a protein shake in your hand but go for walk around campus to get some cardio in. many universities offer yoga or Zumba classes at no expense. Find a way to relieve stress, stay fit and have fun.

6. Make new friends: These are going to be some of the toughest years of your life, but they can also be the most memorable as well. Open yourself to meeting new people and you will be surprise by how many friends you will make.

7. Study for five more minutes: Stop looking for reasons to study for less time and study for more time. I know it is never easy to focus when the world around you is so distracting but you can do it.

8. Eat better: That ice cream bar is tempting but just look the other way. There are much healthier options in your dining hall. Learn to love fruits and veggie!

9. Stop procrastinating: Warning- your deadline is closer than it appears. Don’t wait till last minute to do an assignment. The stress isn’t worth it!

10. Be yourself: Stop trying to be something you’re not. You are most comfortable in your own skin so wear it proudly.

Have a great semester and remember that you are in control of your own life! Good luck. Get A’s and make your fam proud!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
