These are some things I'll never ever do again:

1. I’ll never squirt ketchup directly onto my hotdog again without shaking the bottle prior to the squirting.

I could go my whole life without ketchup juice and I’m sure we can all agree.

2. I’ll never grab a hot pan with my bare hands again. I probably will.

3. I’ll never buy off-brand Oreo’s again.

4. I’ll never drink Burnetts Vodka.

You're really getting what you pay for when you pay $7 for an entire fifth.

5. I’ll never “test” the expired milk again.

6. I’ll never stay signed onto my Facebook on a friend's computer/phone.

7. I’ll never buy the Family Dollar “single ply” bath tissue.

8. I’ll never procrastinate on a major assignment.

It's something I've had to learn over time but if you turn in crap work you're going to receive a crap grade.

9. I’ll never fight via texting/social media.

Save the drama and don't waste your time.

10. I’ll never drink (2) Monster energy drinks back to back ever again.

There are too many reasons why you shouldn't drink one of these.

11. I’ll never keep someone in my life who treats me horribly.

I refuse to waste time on those who could care less about me.

12. I’ll never buy off brand q-tips.

Ouch.

13. I’ll never risk it and “try and make it to the gas station” again.

I'm awesome.

15. I’ll never try and change someone else.

You can't change those who don't want change.

17. I’ll never go to the Whiskey Barrell again.

Not only because it's terrible but because it's closed for business.

18. I’ll never box-dye my hair. Again, I probably will.

19. I’ll never leave my purse at Tim Hortons.

20. I’ll never leave my purse at Subway.

21. I’ll never leave my purse unattended again.

I'm starting to notice a trend.

22. I’ll never be quiet.

I'm a journalist. It's my job to speak for those who cannot be heard. I refuse to stay silent.

23. I’ll never judge someone based on their appearance.

24. I’ll never watch Wolf Of Wall Street with my dad again.

25. I’ll never care what people think.

It's true when they say life is so much easier when you stop caring so much about what others think about you.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. 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.
