College Guide: 10 Easy New Year's Resolutions
PEXELS

1. Wake up at least an hour before class. This will give you ample time to get ready and feel awake before class. This positive start to your day will make the new year sparkle!

2. Eat breakfast. I don't care if breakfast is only a handful of almonds, just make sure to eat SOMETHING for breakfast. Not only is this great for dropping holiday weight but it provides you with more energy.

3. Give something up. From that 2nd cup of coffee to the nightly glass of wine, attempt to cleanse your body by giving something up for at least a week.

4. 2017 is a great time to focus on health and nutrition. This semester join a fitness class to get your body moving.

5. Start the new semester with the goal to learn something new and achieve high grades. Hope to make honors this semester? Just trying to finish college? No matter the goal, set it and go after it.

6. Detox negative people from your life. From mean "friends" to old boyfriends, clear out ALL the negativity.

7. In the spirit of cleaning, make sure to clean out your dorm room, junk drawers, and closet of all those clothes you don't need. Consider donating them!

8. Get out of your style comfort zone. The hair cut from sophomore year of high school is not cutting it anymore, so try out a new look!

9. Try to be more organized. If you lay out your clothes and pack your bag the night before, the morning will be a lot easier.

10. Go to bed 8 hours before that alarm goes off. Your body and mind will thank you.

Happy 2017!!!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
