New Years is just around the corner. Where did the time go? There's something about the begining of a new year that makes you want to throw out all of your bad habits and develop new ones that will make your life better. If you're a college student, the new year provides the perfect time to set some new resolutions that can help make your year in school more positive and productive. As a college students, I want to make a new year's resolution that will guide me throughout the next semester with ease.

Here are 7 things that make up a college student's New Year's resolution:

1. Stop procrastinating

Sure, we have all procrastinated on an assignment and done pretty well on it. However, procrastinating is a lot more difficult to do in college and nothing good comes from it.

2. Develop better study habits

We always hear our professors talk about how important studying is in college, and we have to admit that they're right.

3. Make healthier choices

Choosing fruits and vegetables over pizza and fries is always difficult, but it is also doable as well as beneficial!

4. Get at least 6-8 hours of sleep

I don't know about you, but I am so tired of being tired all of the time. I'm sure us college students want to have the energy to be productive and do what has to be done, but it starts with getting enough sleep to actually function.

5. Exercise more often

When running out of breath while walking to class everyday, I'm always reminded of how out of shape I really am. Exercise is a common New Years resolution among college students. Just a little 30 minutes at the gym can give you more energy throughout the day and possibly throughout the week

6. Try something new that will get you away from your comfort zone

For freshmen, college itself is a very new experience. During this second semester of your first year, try to push yourself out of your comfort zone even further. Some adventure is fun and can really enhance your college experience.

7. Focus more on yourself.

Our health, hopes, and dreams are what's important right now. Let's focus more on ourselves and what we need to better ourselves.

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.
