New Year Resolutions That Matter

Can't change yourself in a year but we can use it to get closer

New year new me is complete BS so let's set some realistic "resolutions" that we can possibly make happen. Stop with wanting to go to the gym or other basic goals you've heard about because these need to actually be your own original choices that you'll want to do.

No cleaning your closet is not something you can work an entire year on, go with something like listening to song lyrics more than the noise so you can build a better understanding of it, and doing this trains your mind to focus as well as lifting your mood for a positive outlook of life.

I am going with a theme for my "resolutions"; Positive mind positive life, because why would I spend this entire year being as miserable as I was last year. With that, I want to try (and ultimately fail) a bunch of small cute things that could help. Like drinking tea more often, or voluntarily going on more walks. But enough about my future fails, here's some that could us all:

-pet more dogs

-eat more ice cream

-go to that random party(with trusty friends somewhere that isn't sketchy)

But over all make ourselves happier. We cannot completely change ourselves heart and mind in only 365 days because that's something completely instilled in you but we can use it to get one step closer to the person we want /need to become. So stop forcing it to happen because it will blow up in your face. Reflect back on what happened last year and think about what needs the change and Slowly accomplish what you believe are minor goals, those matter most. So let's kick off this year to our potential selves with a brighter future. The ball is in your court, what do you want to become

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
