5 Resolutions College Students Never Keep, But Always Make

1. Go To The Gym Every Day

Lets face it we all make this one of our New Years resolutions every year. After spending the first few days of the year aimlessly wandering around the gym crowded with people who made the same resolution as us, we've had enough gym time for that year.

2. Go Out And Drink Less

This one usually ends when the semi-annual holiday of syllabus week begins. During syllabus week, it is socially unacceptable to not go out and drink every night. Each night is accompanied by some sort of cheap alcohol in a big cup.

3. Stop Skipping Class

When registering for classes, we have a lot of faith in ourselves and think we will be able to handle have eight a.m. classes. Waking up and making it to that eight am is hard enough but it get a whole lot harder when you wake up hungover from syllabus week.

4. Make Friends In Class

New semesters mean new class mates. You plan to make friends with the people that sit near you until you walk in on the first day, feel awkward, and pull out your phone and silently pretend to be doing something very important. This continues throughout the semester and by the time you get to midterms its too late anyway.

5. Cook More And Eat Out Less

We think to ourselves cooking is so much cheaper and it is way healthier than eating out. However, grocery shopping and making time to cook is hard with a busy schedule. By February were back to eating Chick-fil-A twice a day.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
