Every single year, you choose the same ole New Year's resolution. What is it? Drinking more water?Working out at the gym? It's time for a change friends, so let me give you a few new ideas!

1. Learn new music.

If you listen to the same genre of music every single day then maybe you should try something new! Besides, you can't tell me that the same artists don't get boring after a while.

2. Pick up a guitar.

It doesn't even have to be a guitar. Try an instrument that you've always been interested in. You don't have to be a prodigy to learn a song, and if you get really good at it, it could even be a party trick.

3. Pet more dogs (srsly tho).

Does this even need an explanation?

4. Give more love.

Give more love; someone out there needs it, and you could be the one to give it.

5. Volunteer more.

Volunteering is a very rewarding job. This new year, volunteer at an animal shelter (and pet more dogs), homeless shelter, or even a food pantry. People need your help, you just have to be willing to give it.

6. Lay off the carbs.

If you're really set on losing weight this new year, cut carbs out of your diet. Your body will thank you for it.

7. Go to 20 concerts.

Make a crazy goal for yourself like go to 20 concerts. Try as hard as you can to do it. You might not reach your goal, but at least you had fun and made memories while you were getting there.

8. Road trip somewhere new.

If you don't love a good road trip, its probably because you're not going with the right people. Get some of your best friends together, make some bomb playlists, and road trip to somewhere new. Make memories. Have fun.

9. Find love.

This could be the year that you find the love of your life. Don't be shy, be courageous. Talk to that cute girl or guy at the bar. See what happens, you never know who you'll meet next.

10. Do a random act of kindness once a month.

One act once a month times twelve months means helping at least twelve people, and I know that you can do it.

11. Write more.

Write until you have nothing left to write about. It'll help your english and grammar skills, and if you like it, you could end up writing articles like me.

12. Make new friends.

Go out and meet new people. You don't need to always stick with the same group of people. Meet new people, make new friends, and make amazing memories this new year.

13. Find yourself.

Find yourself. Reinvent yourself. Make you the best you that you can be.

14. Make a youtube channel.

You could gain approximately 3 million subscribers overnight, so why don't you give it a try?

15. Smile more.

A smile a day keeps the bad away. Just you smiling at a stranger can change their entire day. Don't frown when you've got so much to smile about.

Happy New Year and good luck!

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
