Shawn Mendes clearly had a quite eventful year! He won 11 awards, released a chart-topping album, performed for Queen Elizabeth, and graced the covers of magazines. All of this before the age of 21! Shawn is only 10 days older than me, but he's 10 times more successful! What's so great about him is that he's grounded. He doesn't take anything for granted and he adores his fans. I wish him even more success in 2019.

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!

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.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
