New year, new us... for the first month of the year at least.

New Years Resolutions That Are Never Kept
crosswalk.com

At the start of a new year, we all make a list of things that we want to accomplish in the new year. For a lot of people, the lists appear to be similar. And while these goals are worked on for a little bit, most of the time they do not actually continue to be accomplished as the year goes on. For some they last a week, for others a month, but rare is it that people keep up with their goals during the entire course of the year. Below is a list that will probably look pretty similar to what yours may have looked like for a few years, but that you tend to slip up on as the year progresses.


1. I'm going to work out every day and get into shape.


2. I'm going to eat healthy and give up junk food.


3. I'm going to give up social media and focus on seeing more of the real world.


4. I'm going to work on self love and having confidence in myself.


5. I'm going to clean out my closet and give clothes away to those who need them more than me.


6. I'm going to go out more with friends rather than lay in bed and watch Netflix.


7. I'm going to let go of those in my life who don't appreciate me.


8. I'm going to focus on school and study every day.


9. I'm going to give up cussing and saying bad things.


10. I'm going to stop procrastinating so much.


11. I'm going to work a lot and save my money wisely.


12. I'm going to get more than four hours of sleep every night.


13. I'm going to be independent and focus on me and forget about being in a relationship.


14. I'm going to travel outside of my comfort zone more.


15. I'm going to show up early to everything and stop sleeping in until two in the afternoon.


Happy New Year! May your resolutions last more than two weeks!

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
