With 2017 finally here, many of us have set to make 2017 the year of all years. Let's face it, 2016 was not fair to any of us, and it made sure it did as much damage to our lives as possible up to the last second. The thing about these new years resolutions is often the same. To shed some light on some of these similar new year's resolutions, here is a list of 5 common New Years Resolutions we all tend to make:


1. Get In Shape

Something that never gets old is hearing everyone swear to make the particular year be about getting in better shape. These types of new years resolutions can range from eating less fat food to going to gym more and actually exercising. Despite our high health expectations at the beginning of the new year, we often steer away from any dietary or exercise plan by the half-way mark of the year.


2. Stop A Bad Habit

At a certain point in your life, you begin to realize that some of your habits are not necessarily ideal for your health and overall well-being. This is why we like to start the new year by begin to kick bad habits such consuming tobacco and alcoholic beverages. While there is there a high chance of returning to these bad habits, a lot of the time these resolutions turn out to be successful.


3. Travel More

Something that is becoming a trend amongst the younger generations is the fact they are growing a desire to travel the world. Since it is encouraged for younger adults to travel the world we are often meet with a tremendous amount of support from our friends and family to pursue these types of resolutions.


4. Save More Money

Seeing that we are living in a world that commonly sees inconstancy in the financial well-being of the millions of citizens that make up the different countries, a lot of new years resolutions that are made have to deal with becoming more finically stable. These resolutions sometimes revolve around getting a new job, however, these resolutions deal with spending less money more times than none. It is encouraged for millennials to pursue this type of new years resolution as we need to save as much money as possible to ensure we have a sense of finical stability as we enter the real world.



5. Be More Environmentally Friendly

With a tremendous amount of hype surrounding the “Go Green” Movement, there seems to be a fair share of people creating New Years Resolutions that involve them preserving the environment. These resolutions can range from avoiding car pollution by walking whenever possible to growing your own fruits and vegetables in order to cut back on the pollution involved in the fast food industry.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
