The Nine Most Common New Year's Resolutions

Every year, people make promises to themselves about the new year. Whether those promises are big or just tiny ones, they still can be considered a "New Year's Resolution."

1. Eat healthier

This one is very popular. People tend to treat the new year as a new leaf, so eating healthier falls into this category.

2. Get fit / Start exercising more

Right after the holidays and relaxing with family, people tend to feel like they've lost themselves. So getting fit and exercising more falls into this category

3. Be more organized

Life can be messy. Sometimes life's so messy that it requires a New Year's Resolution about it!

4. Lose weight

Some feel like they have packed on the pounds since the holidays. Because of this, it usually evolves into the common New Year's resolution "lose weight."

5. Drink more water

With all of the different options of soda to drink and all of the ways you can drink iced tea, water may feel like a boring choice. However, water is the healthiest option and that is probably why it ends up on everyone's list

6. Be a better person

Because everyone loves a humble and kind person. So why not choose the new year to put your snarky comments aside and to be a more humble person!?

7. Live life to the fullest

Feel like you're not living your life to the fullest potential? Be like everyone else and make this your New Year's resolution!

8. Spend less and save more

Everyone hates spending money, especially after Black Friday and Christmas. Your wallet is probably feeling pretty empty right now, which is why every year people promise themselves that they're going to start spending less and saving more!

9. Actually complete my New Year's Resolution

The epitome of "I swear I'm going to do it this year!" Basically, a New Year's resolution about a New Year's resolution... how classic!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
