7 New Year's Resolutions We've All Made

"I'm going to work out more."

January 1 is around the corner, and we all know what that means -- New Year's resolutions! We have all made resolutions (whether we have kept them is another story entirely). Here is a list of common New Year's resolutions. Hey, you might find one or two on here that you've made!

1. "I'm going to work out more."

Whether we've phrased it as "get fit" or "go to the gym," we have all made this resolution. But why go to the gym when you can go to Buffalo Wild Wings?

Do the carrots and celery that come with my chicken wings count?

2. "I'm going to budget my money better."

Of course you are... after you hit up that sale at Victoria's Secret, and Bath & Body Works... and Target.

3. "My grades are going to come first this semester."

One of my personal favorites. We all have good intentions when it comes to our grades, but binge watching a whole seasons of friends on Netflix is sooo much easier than typing that paper for economics.

4. "I'm going to read more."

Again, why read when there's Netflix?

5. "I'm going to learn a new skill."

If that new skill is watching Netflix without having to press "continue watching," then sign me up.

6. "I'm going to be more productive."

We all say this, and then all of a sudden it's 5 p.m and we've only left the couch to use the restroom.

7. "I'm not going to wear leggings everyday this year."

Haha, okay.

Have you made any of the resolutions on the list? Did you keep them? If you did, kudos to you! And if not, better luck next year!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
