3 Perfect New Year's Resolutions For A College Student
media.defense.gov

We've all heard the New Years Resolutions: "Oh I'll lose 35 pounds this year", "Oh I'm gonna read a bazillion books this year", "Oh I'm gonna be less stressed." While there are numerous amounts who do actually complete these resolutions, there are definitely countless more who kinda just let them go(wow that was much more cynical sounding than I intended). But never to fear here's a few New Year's Resolutions that you're sure to keep up with!

1. Binge watch a couple of extra series on Netflix

We've all had those days, or weeks...or months.... anyways, we've all had that small time frame of where we just don't care about the world. We have a bunch of stuff we SHOULD do, but instead why not treat yourself to some "Stranger Things?" Finish watching "Grey's Anatomy" for the 13th time. Go ahead and start watching that pointless documentary. Reclaim YOUR time.

2. Sleep

Sleep is something that the vast majority of us don't get enough sleep. Let's fix that, shall we? Got an eight-page paper due Friday? Well, it's Monday, take that nap. Have a project due Wednesday at noon? It's only 4 pm the day before, take that nap. Test at 9 am? You guessed it, can't study on a fried brain now.

3. Have Fun

It's a Thursday evening, you've done all your work for the week, what's the point in you just lounging around, go out and have fun! You see that person you've had your eye on for a bit, ask them out. You have concert tickets for your favorite artist but it's on a Tuesday night? Go! You only have one life, live it with the people you want in it while doing the things you want to do.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
