1. Get in shape
Sara: So many plans to go to the rec
Tessa: I'm not at the planning stage yet. I'm at the "watch Wonder Woman for fitspo" stage.
2. Stick to a budget
S: Why is it that it's always blown in target?
T: Shopping in the dollar section does not count as a budget.
3. Study more
S: Time spent in Bruno and Gorgas is less than time spent napping
T: This is the year I stop using my desk as a vanity.
4. Nap less
T: Naps are supposed to be around 30-45 min. Falling asleep after class ends at 4 and waking up at 10 PM is not a nap. It's a coma.
S: Napping is easy in my comfy bed, school is hard in the uncomfortable chairs.
5. Have a clean apartment
S: It's so much easier to just have a dirty floor
T: It's organized! I know where everything is. It's all in the massive pile on that chair.
6. Stop spending all my dining dollars on Domino's pizza
T: That cheesy bread, tho.
S: You can tip through dining dollars too, delivered to door
7. Take stuff because it's free
S: Looking at you health club
T: I need those freebies because as Macklemore said, "Yo, that's fifty dollars for a T-shirt."
8. Stop crying in public
S: Sometimes the Ferg is the place you break down, and that is okay (sort of)
T: Cry at your roommate and maybe she'll buy you Domino's.
9. Stop getting attached to boys I shouldn't
T: But Brad from Apple Pi is my soulmate.
S: One text at a late hour, from Garrett in I Tappa Keg, does not make him interested in you
10. Take themes to extremes
S: Glitter does not equal a space theme costume Katie
T: And flannels do not make you a cowboy.
11. Stop using all my absences the first month
S: The weather: too hot, too cold, too rainy, too humid, etc.
T: Hangovers are not an illness.
12. Keep up with dates
S: Why do I buy a planner every year to carry around and never use
T: What do you mean that paper is due tomorrow?
13. Get more involved
S: Get on board day does me dirty, whole lot of emails. not a whole lot of commitment.
T: Is there a club for people who watch Netflix in bed?
14. Take adequate care of my body
S: Seems like I end up at the SHC every semester
T: Emergen-C and 8 glasses of water is my new mantra.
15. Walk more
T: And stop asking my friends if my butt looks good after walking for 10 minutes.
S: Soccer rocket goes right to my stop though
16. Look cute for classes
S: It's humid anyways, right? and 10 am comes earlier every time
T: Dry shampoo doesn't count as a shower.
17. Go to more athletic events (besides football)
S: I can hardly even stay for four each game
T: We have a baseball team?
18. Pass all my classes
S: It's a little touch and go there with the absences, tests and assignments sometimes
T: I mean I guess that should be a priority.
19. Try Tuscaloosa restaurants
S: Those dining dollars at Bphils though, always makes me end up there
T: And downtown is faaar.

S: I'm not in the mood for wraps again this week

21. Dress up to go out
T: Maybe use some of that makeup I spend so much money on.
S: T-shirt Tuesday. it's basically the dress code
22. Be on time for class
S: Take the wrong stairway in bb comer or Reese Phifer and you won't be able to get to your room
T: If I leave in 2 minutes and 37 seconds, I can still make it on time.
23. Have books before the class starts
S: Wait you mean you're requiring all the required readings? ugh. every time.
T: Still waiting for a cool and hip professor who throws the textbook out the window on the first day.
24. Make friends in my classes
S: Or I could just sit on my phone until class starts, maybe just walk in as it's starting
T: More friends means more people to ask for homework answers.
25. Spend more time studying in the library
S: "This is supposed to be a quiet floor in Gorgas, Hannah."
T: We have a library?
26. Eat less fried food
S: With Fried Friday every week and Chick-fil-A on campus even I don't think this one is happening
T: If it's a fried vegetable, it doesn't count, right?
27. Do my homework ahead of time
T: No, you can't wait to start that paper. It's due tomorrow
S: But due tomorrow means do tomorrow, right?
