11 Realistic, Day-By-Day Resolutions For 2018

Everybody loves the new years, especially because of the many resolutions that help you have that perfect fresh start. Here are 11 easy New Year's resolutions to actually follow through with this year and can focus on day by day.

1. Drink more water

This first one is pretty simple. Try to drink more water. It’s not only good for you but if you’re trying to lose weight this year, drinking more H2o is the most important. Try to drink as many ounces that are equal to half of your weight. So if you weigh 160 pounds, try to drink 80 ounces of water.

2. Be nice


This is also pretty simple, be nice to people. Go out of your way to be extra friendly to someone. Even if you think you can’t get any nicer, try your best to do four random acts of kindness a day. Try to spread joy in the world.

3. Try new foods


Try to go out of your comfort zone more often in the food realm. Who knows, you might find your new favorite food!

4. Start a habit tracker in a bullet journal


Scientists say that it takes 28 days to make a habit. Why not make more than one using a habit tracker?

5. Workout

The resolution that almost everybody adds to their list. Working out makes you feel good and look good!

6. Put yourself out there

Put yourself out there! Meet new people, make new friends, and why not even explore the world? You won't regret it. You never know what you might experience.

7. Work on being more confident


Confidence is key to everything. How are you going to live your life if you're not confident?It'll be pretty boring if I say so myself.

8. Spend more time with family


Family is important. You may not like them, but after all, family is family.

9. Spend less money


Enough said. More money is the better way to live.

10. Go out of your comfort zone.


Try to go out of your comfort zone. Go to clubs if you don't like people. Try to meet as many new people as you can. It can be hard to do this, but you won't regret it in the long run.

11. Stop procrastinating


This is pretty simple. Stop procrastinating. We all like to push off huge assignments, but do you know how good it feels to have a completed assignment two days before it's due?

New Years resolutions are tough. Some follow through with them, some don't. I hope after reading this that you have found one resolution that you will be able to follow through with.

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.
