It's that time of the year again. It's New Year's resolution time. Yes, it is well into the new year by now, but you probably broke all your resolutions like 3 days in. So if you're looking for some new New Year's resolutions, look no further.

1. Buy one less latte a week.

We all love coffee that isn't brewed at home, but it takes its toll on the bank account. By cutting back on one a week, that's $4 more in your pocket, and multiply that by 50 (since we're already into the new year of course), that's $200 in your pocket. That money can be put to good use, like buying a Keurig to make more coffee at home.

2. Be sure to accomplish one thing each day.

Everyone loves the feeling of accomplishing something, so why not have that feeling every day? Doesn't matter how big or small your task is. You finally folded your laundry? That deserves a high five. You applied for a job? Congrats, man! Just find at least one thing to do and DO IT each day.

3. Read more.

Reading doesn't always mean reading a full-length novel. Don't read the news enough? Start doing that! Or if you're a student and are always reading things you don't want to, like boring textbooks, start reading for yourself this year.

4. Take more naps.

The best way to be productive? Being well-rested! And you're not well-rested unless you take naps! The key thing is to take power naps since you don't have all day to sleep. You gotta be productive in the new year!

5. Show more kindness.

Text your homies saying you got home safely. Text your mom randomly that you love her. Tip a waiter a bit more than usual. Spread love in this crazy messed up world that we live in.

These will be a piece of cake compared to the ones you (probably) already broke! Get to it!

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.
