So it's that time of year again. The time to grab a piece of scrap paper and write down everything you want to do in the upcoming months. Make resolutions that stick. Live by the motto "New Year, New Me."
Lets be real here, the piece of leftover wrapping paper with chicken scratch handwriting that didn't get thrown away with the rest of the trash on Christmas will eventually get tossed in the trash (or ripped and then tossed in the trash). However, I have compiled a list of resolutions for the average college student. A list that will maybe make it through January, but here it is nonetheless:
1.) Not go out to eat for every meal
2.) Limit of two trips to get wings and a limit of four Taco Bell trips per week
3.) Not get discouraged when it's the end of the day and Village Inn was for breakfast, Buffalo Wild Wings was for lunch and Taco Bell was calling out at 1 A.M.
4.) Get more sleep
5.) Go out more and not sleep so much
6.) Exercise more (Power-walking to class because the alarm "didn't go off" and there are no other parking spots DOES, IN FACT, COUNT)
7.) Eat more fruit. Some are sugary sweet, that should help right?
8.) Do laundry more than once a month (this includes washing sheets...)
9.) Vegetables are not an enemy, eat more of those too
10.) Maybe stay away from all the chicken nuggets (or maybe not)
11.) Save a portion of the paycheck
12.) Have more "treat yo' self" days
13.) Call/visit parents not just to ask for money or to take over the washer and dryer for a couple hours, but because they gave life and they are kinda cool
14.) Write down more memories/dreams/ideas
15.) Take more pictures, not just party Snapchats of the drinking games or of that random guy that was drawn all over but pictures of places, things, people, that are found to hold some sort of beauty
16.) Do something you love everyday. (Take this phrase as you please...)
17.) Set some rules/guidelines to make things easier
18.) Be spontaneous and let life come as it does
19.) Travel more, like maybe to the grocery store
20.) Keep the fridge stocked with more than just booze (this is hard, I am aware.)
21.) Meet new people
22.) Catch up with old friends
23.) Try something new (food, places, job, kegstands, etc.)
24.) Know what you deserve and don't settle for less
25.) Be open to love and relationships ya might just find a new friend in coffee even if you have sworn that you hate it before. (Once you become hooked its an obsessive relationship, trust me on this one.)
26.) Read more books, not just WorldStar tweets
27.) Netflix binge a little more to create more "me-time"
28.) Cut the Netflix down to enjoy peace & quiet or hang out with friends
29.) Complete homework before the last week of the semester.........
30.) Keep these resolutions to the best of my ability (keepin' "best of my ability" as vague as possible)
