You Do Not Need The New Year To Start A Resolution!

Starting My New Years Resolution Early!
new year

Every new year comes around and people start making lists of everything they want to change, do new and start for the new year. I can not lie I am the same way. I always say I want to go into the New Year and start exercising everyday, eating healthy, and getting the best grades possible. Well yes I do start those new goals but I never follow through. Just like most people I assume. So this year I decided to change that. When I came home from winter break I gave myself a week to get use to being home and then I said I was going to start my New Years Resolution Early! I am tired of using the new year as an excuse to push myself to start off strong for a week and then like most people crash after maybe the first month. So lets change that! You do not need the new year to start a resolution! Start now! I started going to the gym everyday, thinking about what I put into my mouth and I have been thinking about how I can make my next semester in college the best yet! I am going to go back to school a better me! A healthier me, and thats my goal! Do not let the fear of the unknown or the fear of pain to stop you. Like they say, "Pain is Game" and if you want to see the end results than you have put in the effort. I can not wait for summer to come around and to look back and realize that all of my hard work has paid off.

Do not get me wrong, I am excited to start this new year off right! 2016 has not been the best year for me, and I am excited to see what the new year brings me! 2017 is going to be a good one I have a feelings! The main point I am trying to make here is do not wait until the new year to start a new resolution! Jump on in! Everyone needs a fresh start and creating a resolution may be the best thing you have every done! I know for me, I feel better eating healthier, and exercising and it has only been about 2 weeks! Even with the holidays and eating lots of food as long as I keep on doing the goals I have set for me, I am not going to fail! I received a fortune in my fortune cookie the other week that really has really motivated me, "Do not fear failure". Failure is not an option, so don't wait to start a new goal, just go out and do it!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
