New Year's Resolutions As Told By Michael Scott

New Year's Resolutions As Told By Michael Scott

I'm probably the one of the worst people when it comes to keeping a New Year's resolution. For me, they usually fall through three days into the new year, if they ever get started at all. We all know that sometimes our New Year's resolutions don't always go the way the we imagine they will. The new year can come with a lot of high expectations that we can't always live up to.

Eating healthier.


You wanted to finally start eating all those health foods you've been pinning all year, but then you tell yourself you'll start once all of the holiday food is gone. Eating right is great, but it's probably going to be terrible until all the peppermint mocha is gone.

Exercise more.


It starts off so well, but goes down from there. If you don't see instant results is there even a point to it at all? And have you seen the gym during January? Working out is bad enough on its own, and it's even worse surrounded by strangers, and then it's too cold to go outside...This is one that can wait for a little while.

Handle your money better.

Don't we all want financial stability? This is something you probably need to be an actual functioning adult, but in college it's tough. All you can do is pray those Starbucks gift cards you got for Christmas last a while.

Relax.


Up until the second week of the semester, this will probably go really well.

Know what you're doing in life, or just have some sense of control in your life.


Does buying that new planner with the intention of using it to get everything together count? It should.


If anyone understands our struggles, it's Michael Scott. Yeah, our resolutions might not work right from the beginning, but we have all year for them. And even if they don't go as well as we hoped they would, just remember that you are Beyonce, always.


And if all else fails, just be Kelly Kapoor.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
