Somehow, New Year's Resolutions have evolved into making a list of promises to yourself that you'll forget about by February and beat yourself up about for the next ten months until it's time to do it all over again.
This is a list of seven of the most common resolutions followed by a more realistic option for this year.
1. Get yourself more organized.
Let's try keeping all the important things in one place and maybe try writing things down in your planner before they are due.
2. Go to the gym.
When the gym is included in tuition, you should at least visit.
3. Be positive.
Stop worrying, positivity isn't all that bad.
4. Finally get all A's.
Try actually doing your homework and assigned reading... and at least attempt to study a little.
5. Eat healthy.
Get lettuce in your Chipotle bowl and do without the whip in your frap.
6. Put in effort to look nice for class.
You can definitely take the two seconds to put on a clean t-shirt in the morning. Avoid wearing your pajamas to class. Maybe don't use dry-shampoo twice in a row?!
7. Find that boy you've been searching for.
Invite the hot boy to a function...you can't date unless you talk to him first...
New Year's are full of new chances... but chances are you won't suddenly be dying to work out or have the will to say no to pizza at 1 a.m. Be realistic. Don't set yourself up for failure.
