Because better late than never? Am I right?

My 2019 Resolutions

Dear January,

Where did you go? I feel like it was just yesterday that I was cramped in a basement with all of my friends waiting for the ball to drop. Shortly afterwards, I piled my stuff into my parents car and make the journey back to campus. Since first arriving for this spring semester back at Syracuse University, I feel like I have been running around campus non stop, and working on all other assignments.

My news years resolutions that I had so strongly argued that I would not forget about were pushed to the back of my mind. But, who says that January 1st, is the only day that you can set resolutions. It isn't! Here are my goals for the rest of this semester.

1. Get to bed earlier. 

I always regret my decision to stay up binge watching Netflix the next morning.

2. Start homework before I allow myself to watch Netflix, YouTube videos, scroll through Instagram.

3. Get to classes on time.

Especially because of the extreme temperatures right now, I need to make sure that I am giving myself extra time to avoid slipping on ice.

4. Limit my money and time spent online shopping.

5. Make more time for myself.

Set aside a night to allow myself to relax

6. Stop eating fries every time that I go into the dining hall. 

I feel you girl, we can do this together.

7. Keep my dorm room clean

8. Chew less gum.

seriously...I am addicted...and it is harmful to my wallet.

9. Spend less money on Starbucks and make coffee in my room instead.

10. Make plans to do things with other people first instead of assuming that people will ask me to do things. 

11. Explore more things around Syracuse!

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
