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!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
