20 New Years Resolutions To Follow
Gretchen Rubin

Every year, people are expected to take something away for a new year's resolution. No more fast food, no more sugar, no more bad influences, etc.

How about instead of taking something away, you add something instead? If you are confused of a resolution to add, here is a list of 20possible New Year resolutions to follow.

1. Drink more water.

You should do this anyway.

2. Sleep more.

Again, you should do this anyway. You don't understand how important sleep is to the body. Start taking care of yourself this year.

3. Read more books.

Expand your mind.

4. Read more news.

It's important to know what is going on in the world.

5. Take more pictures.

Keep your memories!

6. Study More.

Spend more time at the library!

7. Hang out with more acquaintances -making them your friends.

If you want to expand your friend group, be involved in more lives, etc.

8. Learn new beauty techniques.

Take better care of your skin, learn new hairstyles, learn new makeup techniques, whatever you want to expand your beauty routine.

9. Pet more dogs.

Because why not?

10. Eat more ice cream.

Why not!

11. Spend more time outside.

Learn to love the outdoors.

12. Call your grandparents.

You don't know how much time you have with them.

13. Try to travel more.

Expand your horizons, even if your bank account doesn't allow you to. And even if means driving your car to the next town over.

14. Dance more.

Even if it's obnoxiously in the middle of your room alone, or with your roommates. Take advantage of your youthful body!

15. Wash your sheets.

Do yourself a favor.

16. Listen to more happy music.

It'll make you feel happy, which is important!

17. Say your feelings out loud!

Don't hold your feelings in, it's healthier to speak it out loud!

18. Eat more veggies.

They're good, I promise.

19. Moisturize

Your skin will thank you in 10-20 years. I promise. Do you want wrinkles?

20. And finally, be happier being you!

Because there is nothing better than being yourself!

Let this be the year to love yourself, love those around you, love all your imperfections.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
