21 New Year's Resolutions We Can All Easily Stick To

Adriana Gil

It’s that time of the year again. Christmas is over and we begin to prepare ourselves for the New Year. We start debating how we want to celebrate this rollercoaster of a year we are leaving behind us and begin compiling a list of things we want to do in the New Year and what we hope to find. Half the time, a week into the year, we forget about them and go back to our old ways. Every year we say that it will be different but not much changes regarding what we do. Here’s a list of things you can do this year to better yourself, your year and see some change around you.

1. Compose a sleeping schedule

2. Save more money on a weekly/monthly basis

Let's be honest, it's always good to save money. Even if its just $10 or $15 a week, you're helping yourself out for the future.

3. Make more home cooked meals

4. Try new foods

5. Try meatless Monday

6. Drink more water

Yes, we've heard this a million and one times but it's true. Drinking more water is a simple thing that can be done and it helps to better your health.

7. Use fewer social media

8. Be more thankful

We should try to be thankful on a daily basis. Try to find something to appreciate and be thankful for every day to boost the positivity in your life.

9. Meet new people

10. Listen to more and new music

11. Forgive others

12. Forgive yourself

Sometimes we find it easier to forgive others than forgiving ourselves. Some things are out of our control and we must learn to forgive our own mistakes.

13. Leave room for mistakes

14. Pick a bad habit, and break it

15. Find ways to avoid procrastination

16. Take more pictures

Pictures can bring back a million memories, so take as many as you can.

17. Travel more

18. Find a new passion

19. Be more fit

Yes, this is one of the ones we say we will do but half of us end up not. Try small things to become more fit and work your way up to more. You got this.

20. Set weekly/monthly goals

21. Make more "me time"

We often forget to focus on ourselves and show more self-love. So try to treat yourself more often and make time for yourself and your needs.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
