8 Things I Want To Do In 2018

Because setting goals is a lot more rewarding than setting resolutions.

The new year can be thought of as a book. A twelve chapter, 365-page book of new beginnings, adventures, and memories. It can be a time to either completely reinvent yourself or continue working towards the things that you've already put in motion for yourself. 2017 was a great year for me, I had a lot of personal growth and made great strides towards the things I want for myself. However, there were some things I was slacking on. In 2018, I plan to fix those things. With that being said, here are the eight things I want to do in 2018.

1. Drink more water

My water intake was nowhere near where it should've been this past year. So in 2018, I'm striving for a gallon a day.

2. Be more organized

I tried to maneuver most of 2017 without a planner and boy was that a huge mistake. This year I'm going to use a planner and a desk calendar to make sure I stay on track with everything I need to do.

3. Get back in the gym.

Before I moved to Ypsilanti for school, I used to hit the gym quite often with my friend Bailey. Once I got up here, I lost motivation and was "too busy" but this year I plan on changing that.

4. Let go of all anger and negativity.

I try to be a happy and positive person at all times. Unfortunately, there were a few situations where I couldn't be that person. In 2018, I'm not letting anybody get the best of me. Positive mind, positive vibes, positive life.

5. Pay off my credit card.

Having a higher credit score as well as one less bill to pay sounds nothing short of amazing.

6. Get another tattoo.

It's been two years since I've gotten my first tattoo and I've wanted another one ever since.

7. Get a well-paying job.

Money isn't everything, however, life is expensive and I want to know what it's like to have some leftover money after paying bills.

8. Get more sleep.

I'm tired of being tired all the time. This year there'll hopefully be no more going to sleep four hours before my alarm is set to go off.

These are just a few things I hope to get out of 2018 and I'm hoping for many more. Let's take 2018 by the horns and make it the best year yet!

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.
