1. Eating habits

I've been transitioning into becoming a vegetarian and I hope to keep the progress going. Not only that, but I NEED to stay away from fast food at all costs. Being a vegetarian, you're limited to what you can eat. I have fallen into a deep love triangle between me, pizza, and french fries. This is truly something that messes with my weight and I'm ready to cut it all out.

2. Working out

I am the absolute worst at working out. I used to work out 5 times a week and sometimes twice a day in the beginning of 2016. As the year winded down, so did my working out habits. I used to pay an amazing trainer to help me work out. I stuck to it because I had paid appointments that I couldn't blow off. I plan to save money using her workouts and improve this habit.

3. Waking up earlier

I consistently get tagged in memes making fun of those people who finally get out of bed at 1 or 2 pm. Sadly I want to change the time I fall asleep as well as when I wake up. It seems near to impossible for me to sleep at a decent time and even more impossible to wake up before 12. My math professor actually made fun of me during a lesson because I was complaining about waking up early for class when, in fact, it started at 11.

4. More productive

A big tendency of mine is to put everything off until last minute. It seems to have worked so far, yet it is an extremely stressful time. I want to be able to get up, do grocery shopping, schedule appointments, etc.

These may be the most basic New Years resolutions out there, but it all must improve to make 2017 the best one yet

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.
