17 Resolutions to Make in 2017

2016 went by in the blink of an eye and now it's already 2017. How many of you stuck to your New Years resolution last year? If you didn't, it's okay. It's 2017 now, and the New Year calls for a chance to a new start. However, making and sticking to a resolution can be tricky. This year, find a resolution that is important to you and stick to it. Here are seventeen ideas for your New Years resolution this year.

  1. Go for a run at least three times a week.
  2. Pick up a new hobby like scrapbooking or yoga.
  3. Read more books than you did last year.
  4. Learn a new skill that will look great on your resume.
  5. Keep a journal and write in it anything you want to remember.
  6. Start a blog about anything that interests you.
  7. Volunteer at a local animal shelter.
  8. Attempt to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet.
  9. Fix your sleep schedule and get 8 solid hours of sleep a night.
  10. Limit your social media time each day.
  11. Spend more time with better people.
  12. Eliminate those people who bring you down from your life.
  13. Eat breakfast; even just a yogurt is a quick and easy breakfast on those days you're in a rush.
  14. Overcome a fear you've always had whether it be as simple as riding a roller coaster for the first time or as scary as telling that person you love him or her.
  15. Learn to relax more. While work is important, it is equally important to have some time to do what you enjoy. Set aside at least an hour each day to have some "me" time.
  16. Travel somewhere and plan a vacation to a place you've always wanted to visit.
  17. Become more organized. Clean your room, order your documents, make a schedule. Organization is important.

2017 is a new year and a blank page. You choose how to write your year. So what will you write?

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:

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.
