20 New Year's Resolutions For All OSU Students
Kelli Hughes

So last year may have not been the best. You may have gotten that bad grade (even if you stayed up till 4 a.m for two weeks straight) or you had rent problems or social issues, etc. When it comes to New Years Resolutions, who really keeps up with it throughout the year? If you're a freshman entering the second semester, or a senior in its last semester, make at least one resolution, big or small, obvious or cleaver, and try to stick with it. They can be serious, or funny. This next year WILL be better than last year, and for a lot of people too.

1. Actually go to class

2. Don't sign up for an 8:30am class

3. Go to more than one bar on the strip

4. Go to the basketball games

5. Work on maintaining finances/create a student budget

6. Balance work hours with school hours

7. Actually get sleep/take care of your body

8. Drink less alcohol (or maybe cut down to weekends) and drink more water

9. Get out of the dorm and explore Stillwater

10. Go out to eat less

11. Stop buying so much junk food

12. Try out the Colvin for more than a month

13. Join a club

14. Change your "C's get degrees" mentality and strive for an A!

15. Go back to your parents less often (freshmen, I'm looking at you)

16. Go to the football games in the fall

17. Be kinder to people (even if it is OU fans)

18. Be more patient when it comes to professors, other students, workers, etc.

19. Do your laundry more than once a month, especially the bed sheets!

And the most important:

20. Wear orange every single Friday

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.

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.

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.
