16 New Year's Resolutions For 2018
Colors By CouponRani

There are so many good and bad things about ringing in the New Year. Good things include being with your friends and family, new possibilities, and the chance to drink all night with no judgement. Bad things include not sticking to your New Year's resolutions past January 5th. My challenge to you is to actually follow through this year. If you are like me, you sometimes struggle to come up with a good resolution that is doable. Here are some ideas that you may want to add to your list when 2018 rolls around.


1. Hit The Gym

You don't have to go every day, but try and go as much as you can.


2. Eat Healthier

No one is saying that you have to cut out bad foods completely, but it is time to break out some salads.


3. Make New Friends

This is a good way to expand your horizons.


4. Try Something New

Like Ross on Friends, try something new every day. You could find new hobbies that you never thought you would enjoy or a new food that you would never have thought to try.


5. Focus On School/Work

The only way to better yourself in these areas is to really put your time and effort into it. Make a point to try and go above your expectations.


6. Take A Risk

Ask the cute guy for his number, why should you have to wait around for him to ask?


7. Be More Polite

You never know what goes on behind a closed door, so try your best to be nice to everyone you meet.


8. Get More Sleep

A good day starts with a good night's sleep.


9. Save Money

If you spend money, try and put some money in a savings account. You'll thank yourself later when you're living on your own and need to pay bills.


10. Learn To Cook

I know you can make pasta in your sleep, but now it's time to learn some new recipes that are a little more sophisticated.


11. Travel

Even if it's to a different town in your state that you've never been to before.


12. Spend Less Time On Social Media

Unplug from the digital world for a little bit each day.


13. Read More

Books are fun and why not enjoy some screen-free time. They also open you up to new ideas and perspectives.


14. Face Your Fears

The only way to conquer your fear is to face it. If you're afraid of heights, go on a tall roller coaster. If you're afraid of a spider, hold one.


15. Write In A Journal

This is a good way to keep all your thoughts and sort through your emotions.


16. Actually Stick To Your Resolution

This is the most important. You actually have to put serious effort in to keep up with your resolution.


Happy New Year! Let's make 2018 count!

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
