Another Semester Resolution: New Semester New Me?

Maybe this semester I will actually get a 4.0... or at least not stay up until 2 a.m. watching Netflix.

Another Semester Resolution: New Semester New Me?
Glenn Carstens-Peters

To be honest my "senior year bucket list" for last semester didn't exactly get finished. So, since I watched Netflix and did absolutely nothing all break, I decided that this semester would be the semester, the semester that I will accomplish my goals. So what that I say this every semester? This will be the semester that I actually do something. I mean, "new semester, new me" is obviously why I am going to crush it my last semester in undergrad.

1. That 4.0

The ultimate college goal, because "pain is temporary and GPA is forever". Also, my mom told me I can do it and that she is disappointed that I haven't done it more.

2. Read sometimes.

As great as Netflix is, sometimes it's a good idea to expand your horizon with books.

3. Do a cool workout.


First of all, working out is a lot of work and I got lazy in the search for a workout that is unique.

4.Get a tattoo.

I just want one... I have put a lot of thought into it, so don't worry mom.

5. Go to a concert.


...or like 50.

6. Save money.


...I guess I can't live by the "treat yo self" philosophy.

7. Go camping.


Fires, s'mores, and stars? Doesn't get much better than that!

8. Blog more!


Blogging twice a year is a terrible habit... get ready for three times a year!!

9. Cook at home more.

Supposedly it's good for you... all I know is that I get to make a lot of pancakes.

10. Spend more time growing spiritually.


This is the one thing that tends to take a back seat when business comes to play. That is a habit I need to grow from and I truly need to take my faith and relationship with Christ more seriously.


So, these are the 10 things that I hope to accomplish by the time May 5th rolls around. Here is to one more go at the whole undergrad thing. And may the magic of "new semester, new me" bless ya girl!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
