With the new year and new semester starting, everyone has their resolutions that they hope to stick to. It can easy to say that we'll do these things, but a little harder when the time actually comes to commit to them.

1. Stop procrastinating

Or at least procrastinate a little less. Maybe then I will be a little more productive this semester.

2. New friendships

I made some amazing new friendships last semester and hope to keep meeting new people this semester too.

3. Work out more

I have been on a good routine working out at home and I always feel better after working out. But it gets tough when I get back to school, especially when the gym is on the opposite side of campus from my dorm.

4. Go to more basketball games

I went to a couple basketball games last semester, but I definitely want to keep going to more. I love our basketball team at Villanova and need to stop worrying about other things I need to do and just take a couple hours out of my day to go watch them play.

5. Stress less

I have always been the type of person to put a lot of pressure on myself. I still want to try my best in my classes and everything I do, but try not to worry as much about little things that probably won't have that much of an impact on my life in the long run.

6. Try new food places

I love going to new restaurants and trying new places to eat, but I feel like sometimes I get stuck on eating the same food because it is easy and I know that I'll like it. I want to branch out and try new things this semester.

7. Eat healthier

Going along with the food theme, I need to eat healthier while I'm at school. It's easy to just eat whatever when I don't love a lot of the food options at school, but I definitely want to be more conscious about what I eat.

8. Less phone

My phone is a huge distraction for me, like I'm sure it is for a lot of people. I want to spend less time on my phone this semester to get rid of distractions, and just to be more present.

9. Go to new places

I want to find more things to do around Villanova. Whether it's going into Philly more or finding other fun things going on near campus. I want to find some new things to do.

10. Stick to a study schedule

I want to be more strict with my schedule this semester so that I can be more productive. Even if I feel like I have a lot of free time, I still want to have a study schedule so that I can get work done.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
