This Year, We're Keeping Those Resolutions

This is the year to be your best self.

Every year, I set resolutions and every year I break them. And after this happens for so many years, people start to doubt you can keep your resolutions. But this year will be different. Because this year I have accountability and motivation on my side.

Nope, just kidding. Accountability and motivation are important of course, but this year I will be keeping my resolutions because I owe it to myself. And so do you. We owe it to ourselves to be the best possible version of ourselves we can. To make goals and then crush them and leave them in 2019 by the time we hit 2020. We owe it to ourselves to be healthy and happy and love our lives. And last, we owe it to ourselves because we are constantly improving, and even though 2018 still exists ~unfortunately for some people~ we are going to be better than that and leave it in the past.

Some people may say that new year resolutions are silly or not worth it because you haven't stayed committed in the past. But that's not true. There is never a wrong time to set goals. And it is never a bad time to form good habits. So don't listen to the negativity and keep working on yourself.

Whether your resolutions are big or small, take it a day at a time. Slipping up here or there does not mean you failed. This is where I always stopped in the past. The first time I slipped up. But we are all only human and won't accomplish things perfectly the first time. Just keep going despite your mistakes or slip-up moments. You are worth more than it.

This year, we all got this. And you can accomplish any resolution you set your mind to.

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.

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.
