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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
