10 New Year's Resolutions You Will Forget In Two Weeks

The trend of blowing off resolutions dates back to our innocent childhood years. Remember when you would tell your whole family, while trying to fit in with the new year fad, that you were going to give up sweets? Do you remember how ridiculously delicious that hidden candy bar tasted as it first touched your lips only one week later? And as you sat there, chocolate smeared all over your chubby cheeks, you realized that New Year's resolutions were just unrealistic. So, here are the New Year's resolutions that you will forget about in two weeks. 

1. Work out more. Trying to workout once you are back at school is generally prioritized after classes, homework, and going out. Also, school rec centers are scary and filled with meat heads, machines you don't know how to use, and people you know.


2. Drink less. 
After spending an entire month of break watching movies with your parents in sweatpants, you are going to want to go out as much as humanly possible. The second you get back on your campus, the thirst will show no mercy. 



3. Eat healthier. Mom's homemade cooking and endless supply of produce had you feeling some type of way. However, once you return to your smelly mini-fridge and empty bank account, you realize that eating healthy is  probably not going to happen. Also, we all know the drunchies are necessary if you want to survive. 


4. Keep up with your laundry.
But getting quarters is hard and it is heavy, and then I have to fold it. 


5.  Wake up earlier. 
Being able to take your time getting ready and actually sitting down for breakfast sounds incredible. However, that cozy twin bed will always win and you will end up running out the door with bed head and a banana. 


6. No random hook ups. 
Your friends, who at the beginning of the night may be very respectable and intelligent wingmen or women, turn into the last people you should listen to. 



7. Look nice for class. The thought of wearing jeans to class...


8. Stay away from the jerks you left over break. 
While staying away is easy from a distance, the second you are out and see them at the bars.


9. Do your homework and don't procrastinate. Head to the library to do all of the homework you saved for Sunday.



10. Get organized and figure out your future. Figuring out your life will come, when it comes.



While resolutions and getting your life together is a great idea, there will likely be no other time in your life when you will be able to live the college lifestyle. Once you enter the adult world, you will no longer be able to wear leggings every day, drink four nights a week, and have absolute freedom. In other words, enjoy these four years and save the resolutions for when you become a socially acceptable human.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
