6 New Years Resolutions All College Students Can Commit To
Happy New Year Festivals

As college students, there are many things we would all like to change in the next coming year. Unfortunately, with all the time we spend on classes, we don't always have time to make the improvements we want to. Here are 10 New Years resolutions all college students can relate to.

1. Spend less and save more

The majority of college students, including myself, are broke. With the money we spend on tuition, textbooks, food, and sometimes clothes we can't really live without, extra spending money is very hard to come by. This year, I am hoping to decrease the amount I spend in things like textbooks, clothes, and extra food.

2. Spend a little more time studying

I am very easily distracted. I can't spend more than an hour at a time working before I need to do something else. This year, I am hoping on getting a bit better at sitting still and working.

3. Procrastinate less

I am a huge procrastinator. By the time I start working on an assignment, there are no more than 3 days until it is due. I am hoping to get some head starts this coming year.

4. Eat healthier

Unfortunately, there are not many healthy options in my school's dining hall. If I want to eat healthy, I probably will need to give up enjoying my food. I am going to try to eat a bit healthier this year even though the food is not ideal.

5. Exercise

I like going to the gym, but my time is limited. This year, I am going to do my best to make time and get a bit more in shape. commit

6. Spend more free time outside

Since I'm always so busy, when I get a free day, I like to stay in my room and relax. I am hoping to get out more this year and be a bit more social.

The New Year is a great time to make some good changes. In my case, there are a lot of things I want to change. I can't wait to enjoy the new year and change for the better.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
