1. "I'm going to stop eating unhealthy food."

That sounds like such a great and wonderful idea until you realize that life is way too short for it to be spent eating leaves. On the bright side, though, you get a new set of 52 weeks to tell yourself “I swear I’m going to start on Monday.”

2. "I'm going to get so fit."

The new year. This is your year. You are going to actually do it... not. You got your new workout attire and a gym membership to go with it... gross. You’ve just got to love the beginning of the year when everyone and their mother decides to make a trip to the gym.... ugh. So here is to that solid first month that is going to remind you why you stayed away from that place for the last eleven.

3. "I'm going to stop spending all of my money on stupid things."

This time around you are going to be cost efficient and spend those paychecks on things you actually want. New year, new you. There is no way that this new you would ever spend $30 on a key chain that looks like a puff ball or approximately $2,894,752,938 on your food extravaganzas.

4. “I’m going to go to class every single day and have killer grades.”

Since you have now decided to save your money… that means you probably need to spend all of your time in the library to avoid all places that could tempt you to swipe your debit card. Perfect. That means you will have SO much more time to study!!! Look at you being all studious!! (I’ll give you until the end of syllabus week tops until this one wears off)


5. "I'm going to start being more social."

On the other end of that spectrum, you should probably crawl out of your hermit hole every once and a while, so this time around you aren’t going to spend all your time having Netflix and chill dates with…. well yourself….

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.
