Winter break means no thinking about class, assignments and exams. Therefore, there is one major thing to think about. What will your new years resolution be my fellow college friend?

1. Don't make skipping class a habit!

I know, your bed is so tempting to stay in but get the hell up because each class that you miss is money down the john.

2. Get AT LEAST 7 hours of sleep every night.

I've been that person who stays up till 4 doing homework a week in advance and had an 8 am the next morning. Not fun and very exhausting.

3. Use your money for more needs instead of wants!

If you are like me, you shop on amazon every day and spend money on the dumbest things that you want...spend your money on things like shampoo and toothpaste. Ya know, necessities.

4. Finish assignments as soon as you find out about them.

This will make things so much less stressful for you. When you wait until the last minute, it always seems that you have a million things due at once.

5. Dress to impress, put the sweats away!

It is found that when you look better, you feel better!

6. Say "no" to the jungle juice!

I know you have been there, just say no. Honey, you never know what those weirdos put in that!

7. Set aside an hour of everyday for "me time."

Watch your fav netflix show or treat yourself. I tend to buy food when I have my "me time."

8. Make time to get to know yourself.

College is a hard time because you spend so much time focusing on school that you never really focus on yourself!

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.
