"New year, new me." We see this phrase plastered across 2017 inaugural Instagram posts, tweets about self-improvement in the coming year, and Facebook updates where we promise to better ourselves in the next 365 days. But do we really need to change ourselves, or do we need to become resolute in the idea that we can become better versions of who we are in the next year? Here's 23 resolutions for college girls like me to keep in the coming year to help them do just that.

1. Live a healthier lifestyle.

2. And don't make it about your weight, make it about eating cleaner, exercising more, and feeling better.

3. Likewise, have more body positivity. For another people, and for yourself.

4. Develop even better study habits.

5. Set greater academic goals for yourself.

6. Create a sleep schedule that allows you to catch enough zzzz's, and stick to it.

7. Finish your assignments at least two days in advance.

8. Actually, just quit procrastinating as a whole.

9. Listen to one new song every day.

10. Break your bad habits. ***Cough cough, stop biting your nails, cough cough.

11. Learn to do something new.

12. Let go of negative people.

13. If you want to say something, speak up and let it be heard.

14. Take more pictures.

15. Follow through with all of your "to-do" lists.

16. Do more of what makes you happy.

17. Try a new shade of lipstick.

18. Read more.

19. Strengthen the long-distance relationships in your life.

20. Take an adventure somewhere new each month.

21. Try new food.

22. Less self-loathing, and more self-loving.

23. Forgive yourself if you forget these resolutions every once in a while.
