11 New Year's Resolutions You Won't Keep As Told by The Office

Each year millions of people promise themselves they will do something different in the upcoming year. Whether it's eating healthier or traveling the world, most people want to see a change in the new year. As college students, we have a lot we could improve on, so claiming a resolution is easy. However, sticking to it is the tricky part. Here's to all the resolutions college students won't be sticking to this year.

1.Eating Healthy

Seriously- why do people even say they're going to do this?

2. Staying Fit

It's like eating healthy- why bother? We all know you'd rather lay in bed and watch netflix than go to the gym.

3. Actually Going to Class

Like you're actually going to leave your cozy bed for that 8am....

4. Staying Organized

If you think you're going to use that planner that you got for Christmas then more power to you!

5. Concentrating on School

It's Thursday night and everyone's going out, you're not going to stay in to study for Macroeconomics are you?

6. Make New Friends

If you already have friends why make new ones, don't fix it if it's not broken right?

6. "Enjoying Life to the Fullest"

To be honest, I'm not even sure what people mean when they claim this as their New Year's Resolution, but I'm positive they're not going to keep it.

7. Spending Less Money

You told yourself you wouldn't spend those Christmas checks until the new year.... but then you saw those new boots you've been eyeing up were on sale!

8. Rembering About Your Online Class

You took a class online so you wouldn't have to leave your room. Yet every week you forget to do the work.... and you will probably continue to forget to do the work.

9. Making Your Meal Plan Last

There's three weeks left in the semester and you are all out of dining dollars which means you're starving through the last few weeks... again.

10. Spend Less Time on Social Media

You know you should delete the apps off your phone, but on the inside you're like...


11. Reading the Textbook

You'll open it up during Syllabus week, but then probably not again until you're packing to go home.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
