New Years Resolutions For The Average College Student
Philadelphia Academy Charter

With the vast majority of 2017 still ahead of us, the Spring semester of colleges and universities is about to begin. Here are some little accomplishments and big ideas to transform your college experience this semester.

1. Get more sleep

As a college student, often times quality sleep is a rarity. Staying up all night to finish research papers, or studying for difficult exams, we often forget about getting good sleep. Even just insuring that you get around eight hours of sleep every few nights, will positively impact your mood and attitude!

2. Eat something healthier at school

If you live on a college campus, you are probably used to eating your feelings away with some grilled cheeses and spaghetti. While those are both delicious options, maybe adding some fruit to your meals would boost you energy and make you feel happier and more confident!

3. Make a few new friends

College is all about meeting new people, regardless of how awkward we all may be. Challenging yourself to chat with new people could bring you lifelong friends, as well as make living away from home a bit easier.

4. Study better for your classes

Sometimes finding motivation to study for a very difficult test can be hard. This semester, try reminding yourself of what your academic goals are, and just do your best to excel.

5. Join a club or extracurricular

Getting involved with your school's activities is a great way to meet new people, find new hobbies, and better enjoy your free time. Whether you are auditioning for your school's a cappella group or trying out for a sport, you can easily find something you love.

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?

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.
