12 New Years Resolutions College Students Are Sick Of Hearing About

Welcome to 2017! I’m sure you’re Facebook timelines and Twitter feeds have been full of friends and family publicly proclaiming their New Year’s resolutions to the world. We all have them, but do they really happen? How long do some of they last? A few day, a few weeks? Maybe even a few months, if you’re really lucky. If you’re friends are like mine, I’m sure you’ve heard quite a few of these college students’ New Year’s resolutions.

1. Get my butt to the gym

Nike’s slogan is “Just Do It,” for a reason. Just get up and go workout.

2. Get an A in class

College classes are hard, but by the time midterms roll around, just remember C’s get degrees.

3. Graduate on time

Lol, we can all hope, right?

4. Not spend as much money at the bars

If you only have $2.54 in your bank account, I wouldn’t recommend going to happy hour.

5. Watch what I eat in the dining halls

Well good luck with this one.

6. Get a job

If you want to avoid having $2.54 in your bank account, start sending out those resumes.

7. Go to more sporting events

Sports are fun, even if you don’t understand them…

8. Don’t eat out as much

2017 is the year to bring out your inner Betty Crocker.

9. Go to bed at a more reasonable time

8 hours of sleep is recommended for a reason. Listen to those healthcare officials.

10. Make a new friend

College life goes away really fast. Dorm life probably goes even faster. Take advantage of the opportunity to meet new and interesting people while you still can.

11. Stop procrastinating

You’ll thank yourself later.

12. Have a better year than last year

You might have had a great year of 2016 or maybe not so much, but I’m sure you can make it even better. Do whatever it takes.

Whether you have a resolution or not, 2017 is here, make it your b*tch. New year, new you, right? But just a piece of advice, posting your resolutions on social media won’t help you accomplish them. Just do it and be happy!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
