Because we all have them at some point in our lives.

Don't Call My New Year's Resolutions Dumb
We Know Your Dreams

A new year means there will be many new resolutions. Whether it's exercising more or eating healthier, we all have something that we want to do to better improve ourselves. Many people try to stick to these new year resolutions as best as they can. Other people think it is completely ridiculous to make a resolution.

Personally, I make resolutions because there are some aspects of my life that I do want to improve. I usually do succeed with my resolutions because I write them in the front of the journal that I keep every year. I find that it is easier to keep up with something that you want to achieve by keeping a reminder somewhere you will see it every day.

I really do not think that resolutions are stupid or dumb. Yeah, it seems like everyone gives them up within the first two weeks of the new year, but there are people out there that want to keep up with their resolutions. I say more power to people who want to change their lives because the new year. A new year makes everyone excited for what the year has in store for them.

2016 was a really weird year for everyone that I know, and I am sure it was as equally weird for everyone else. I think that keeping resolutions is just a way to set goals for the new year. We all have goals we want to accomplish, and that is important to us. Because we are constantly looking for ways to improve ourselves, it is important that we keep setting multiple goals for ourselves. I do not think we have to set our resolutions in the beginning of the year. I think it is completely okay to set them any time of the year.

We are constantly changing and improving ourselves. We are human and we constantly change. Because of this, it is important to constantly keep our goals updated with our lives. That is why I think it is important for us to have resolutions at some point in the year. I can say that my resolutions or goals for the year are constantly changing because I am constantly changing. I am growing. I am learning. I think it is important to keep this in mind.

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.

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.
