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!!

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.
