13 One-Sentence Resolutions You Can Aspire Toward In 2017

That's soo last year. 2016 has come and gone and now 2017 has taken center stage with new technology being to launched and a new president claiming to "Make America Great Again." With so much going on we neglect to realize who we are not just what we do with our jobs but our character and how we interact with other people. I have recently found myself not knowing who I am, so to get my life back on track (if it ever was on track) I have made these 13 resolutions that will hopefully help you and I get our shit together for 2017.

1. To do at least one good thing for someone else every day, just spread kindness.

2. Be honest about your feelings and not to apologize for having them.

3. To refrain from talking about people behind their back, avoid being judgemental in every way.

4. Say 'yes' when you want to and 'no' when you need to.

5. Focus on creating happiness within your life, instead of chasing after it.

6. Stop thinking about how you can improve your life and actually do it.

7. Get the amount of sleep each night that you deserve.

8. Hit the snooze button less.

9. Read more actual books, even if it is one more than last year.

10. Focus on one activity at a time, channel you energy and enjoy the moment more.

11. Always say 'hello' or 'good morning' to the cashier, barista, or uber driver before you ask what you want.

12. Enjoy the outdoors more other than staying inside on social media.

13. Be someone right now that you'll be proud of in five years from now.

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.
