Be realistic. How many times did you put "lose 10 pounds" on your New Year's resolution list? Let's face it. It's not that realistic because the feat itself is pretty daunting. Put some realistic goals on your list to become a better you.

1. Be more aware of how your actions and words can affect others.

2. Try to have your own opinion on things instead of settling for what the majority sees as fit.

3. Do things now instead of waiting till you’re more “something” (i.e. more stable, more successful, more fit, more powerful, etc)

4. Be more sensitive to others instead of getting caught up in your own world.

5. But, take the time to take care of yourself and put yourself first at times.

6. Write down what you’re grateful for each day in order to see the better things in life.

7. Take some time to work out and eat healthy food.

8. Remember that there are a billion good things to counteract the one bad thing.

9. Take a few minutes to reflect and think before you act.

10. Life is too short to do things that make you unhappy. (aka, do things that make you happy.)

It's okay if it takes you a long time to reach your ultimate goal. Take baby steps, and you'll eventually get there! I hope this new year of 2019 will be a better year for you!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
