Starting My New Years Resolution Early!

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

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!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
