New Year's (Never) Resolutions
Gretchen Rubin

New Year's Resolutions are the best part of New Year's, am I right? No. They are the most tedious. Which is why 90% of the time, these resolutions are not kept for the next 365 days. Here is a list of the most popular unkept New Year's Resolutions.

1.) Working Out

We all know that we have said this at least once in our lives, so what's the issue. Well, we have those days where we just don't feel good and we are sick and we just don't want to work out anymore.

2.) Stay Fit and Healthy

I know I have said this one in the past, too. But this is the easiest to break. We always say "Oh well today is my cheat day!" but then those cheat days just become more and more frequent until we even forget that we're supposed to be staying healthy.

3.) Fall in Love

This is a simple solution. You cannot force yourself to fall in love. It will happen when it is meant to happen.

4.) Spend Less, Save More

Good luck. That's all I can say. You say this now but in a month or two, your favorite movie came out on DVD and you have to buy it. Or there was this really cool thing that you saw in the store that you HAVE to get...well, spending less does not last for too long but it was worth a try!

5.) Spending More Time With Family and Friends

This one is favorably achievable. Sometimes, though, it just does not work out when you get upset at a family member or friend so you stop hanging out with them.

These are just a few of the many possible New Year's Resolutions that people do not keep. So this year, when making your resolution: Keep it simple, make it tangible, and remember it EVERY DAY.

Good Luck!!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
