Resolutions are great in theory, but the follow through can present difficulties. There's always the chance that you had good intentions, but haven't ACTUALLY started your resolution just yet. There's also the possibility you had a great start on January 1st, but have slowly gone off track throughout the rest of the week. So take some time to reflect on this first week of the new year. Have you given up on any of your resolutions yet?

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.

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.
