You've gotten what you want on your millennial Christmas list. You've eaten two dozen cookies that your Grandma brought. Now it's time to set those resolutions! What are some of yours? Everyone has those basic ones, including going to the gym on a regular basis, eating healthier... c'mon girls, let's diversify some of these resolutions.
1. Get fit, get in shape, look "hot."
This is every college girl's #1 resolution and the #1 resolution that gets forgotten about the second day of February. January is the WORST time to go to the gym because literally, everyone is at the gym trying to work off their Christmas food sins. I advise waiting until February to go to the gym because the crowds will open up and you'll finally get an open treadmill. Save January for an easy transition from the couch to the treadmill. Try running, or at least running to the fridge for a banana.
2. Go on the gluten-free, no carb, only juice diet.
Yeah, and then you'll be back to eating all things carbs like pizza, pasta, and late-night ice cream once you go back to college.
3. #DontTextHimBack2018
Every girl should have this on her list. If your boo thang is toxic for you, meaning he only pays 50% attention to you, doesn't treat you like a priority, or doesn't support you, then he should be on his way out the door in 2017. Leave that shit in 2017, girl. You don't need that toxicity in your life and don't shoot him a "you up" text at 2 am on New Year's Day.
4. Take responsibility.
You get older in college and you start to realize that you have to take care of yourself. That means setting your doctor appointments, realizing when to say "no" and stay in and study. Or, it means deciding where to be after college ~scary thoughts~. Maybe the responsible thing to do is to live at home after college and work near home. It saves money and you get to spend extra time with your parents because they're not getting any younger.
5. Live it up in 2018.
#Make2018GreatAgain. Aside from being responsible, live a little! Sure, you're getting older but that doesn't mean you should be planning your gravesite! Go out, have fun, dance on elevated surfaces. Because it's yo life and yo deserve to have fun, girl.
6. Don't take any shit from anybody.
Yeah, I said it girl. This means from your boo thang, family, and group chat. You will take no shit from your friends. You will give it straight to them without fear of losing your friends. 2018 is about you and dishing it out straight up. You are only worrying about yourself.
7. Get a job.
Alas, all college students, in general, want to get a job. I mean, it's common sense that you come to college to get an education and then a job career. Stay on LinkedIn, Monster, Indeed...or even the classifieds section in the newspaper. I'll take a part-time job for an entry level! #HireMe2018
