Goals you can actually obtain this year.

Realistic New Year's Resolutions

Every year people make New Year's Resolutions, and every year the majority of people fail at these resolutions. I know I'm guilty of it. I can't tell you how many times "learn Spanish" and "learn to play the violin" have been on my list. Wanna know how many times I've picked up a violin? Zero.

So here are some New Year's resolutions we can actually accomplish!

1. Limit Pizza Consumption To Once A Day

Totally manageable. Bonus points if you try different types of pizza!

2. Put Up Your Phone When Talking To People

Give them your attention, and leave your phone in your pocket.

3. Call Or Text Mom Every Day

She worries, and it only takes a minute to send a text.

4. Finish A Netflix Series

Challenge yourself, take a day and finish that Netflix series! Don't let Netflix judge you when it asks "Are you still watching?"

5. Clean Your Bowl When You're Done

Not a week later when you need it again. (Guilty)

6. Go To Sleep Before Midnight

You deserve a good night's rest, go to bed at a reasonable time!

7. Compliment Strangers

If someone on the quad has a killer outfit, tell them! No one dislikes a compliment.

*Disclaimer: A compliment is "I love your outfit!" not "Damn, you're sexy!" Especially to strangers. Don't be weird.

8. Try To Skip Class Only Once A Week

I know, depending on the class and its time, it can be hard to go to class. But you paid good money to try and get your best grade, so go to class!

9. Cook A Good Meal

Not ramen or easy mac, an actual meal that's good for you. I suggest baked pesto chicken, it's easy, cheap and delicious!

10. Stop Blacking Out When You Drink

Party however you want, but for the sake of your health, maybe don't pass out every time you drink.

11. Don't Get In Debates With Idiots

Or your bigoted relatives. Seriously, you can't win and you're just giving yourself high blood pressure.

12. Do What Makes You Happy

You do you!

Happy New Year!

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.

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.
