As many of you know 2017 is upon us which I still can't exactly believe because I feel like 2016 just started. This year I want to grow more in my faith and in myself and I can't wait to see what all the new year has in store for me, and everyone around me. I've started thinking about my New Year's resolutions and compiled a small list to start off, so here they are.

1. I want to grow in my relationship with God.

I think that it is so important to always being growing in your relationship with the Lord, but during 2017 I really want to be connected with the Word and apply it to my daily life.

2. I want to go to the gym more often.

Now I'm not doing this so that I can lose weight and look a certain way, but I want to start going to the gym more often so that I can get in shape and be more healthy.

3. Spend more time with family.

I have realized that family is so important and I want to be able to spend as much time with them as possible!

4. Cross more things off my life bucket list.

Now this is more of a running resolution for me but I still want to be able to cross everything off my life bucket list before I die so that I can see the world and experience so many incredible things.

5. TRAVEL MORE! I want to see everything there is to see.

I'm sure if you've read any of my other posts on here then you probably know how much I love to travel. I want to travel the whole world and see every country and city.

6. Do more of the things that I want to do.

I want to take some time to myself and accomplish the things that I've always want to do, the personal things I want.

7. Spread more love to people everywhere.

More people need to feel love and feel like they're worth it. I want to be kinder to everyone and spread that love to so many more people because everyone deserves to feel loved.

This is just a small list that I've been thinking of but there are definitely more things that I want to accomplish within 2017 and I have a feeling that this is going to be a great year!! I can't wait to see what happens within the lives of everyone during this New Year and what everyone will accomplish.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
