With resolutions for the New Year of 2017 in full swing, people are out and about with volunteering in the community, widening their networking circles, and packing the gym with goals of weight loss. Each and every year, many people choose a resolution they will use throughout the year to help improve their lives and well-being. However, it is very rare these resolutions last longer than a month... or even a week or two, really. I am guilty of such New Years Resolution fails, and I'm betting many-- ok most-- of you are as well. While the following resolutions and the reality of them are listed below, maybe you will be one of the few who will stick to their resolution.

1. "Going to the gym regularly."

Or maybe regularly as in regularly skipping the gym for more sleep.

2. "One hour of cardio a day, no excuses."

Horizontal running counts as cardio right?

3. "I WILL eat healthier."

*Inhales an entire large pizza, breadsticks, and large Dr. Pepper.*

4. *Start of the Semester* "I am so getting a 4.0!"

By the end of the semester your motto becomes, "Well, C's get degrees..."

5. "No more social media."

*Checks Instagram 3 hours later*

6."My new Lilly Planner is going to make me so organized."

*4 days later* What was that assignment for next week, again? Or was it this week...?

7. "This is the year I avoid dating and focus on my myself."

*Changes Facebook relationship status 2 months later*

8. "I will spend less money and get serious about budgeting."

Well... maybe just a couple stores...

9. "No more drinking. Or... at least drink less."

One glass of wine should suffice...

10. "I will make an effort to meet new people."

People are just annoying... who needs friends anyway?

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
