New Year's Resolutions That DON'T Involve Dieting

You don't have to diet to be happy this new year. Counting calories everytime you eat can lead to you on a scale crying because you are not at your goal weight yet. Here are some small things you can do that don't involve tears.

1. Try New Foods

Being a picky eater you know what you like and what you don't like, but in 2019, push yourself to try as many new things you can. From foreign foods to a weird fruit that may even look like a star. You don't have to like it but you never know you may find your new favorite thing.

2. Travel More

Traveling can be very blissful whether it is by yourself or with others. Traveling abroad or locally, or even out of state. It can be so relaxing to get out of your surroundings and seeing something new. Try Disney World or a trip to Canada, or if you are really bold jump on a plane and go to Paris, London, or Rome. Anywhere your heart wants to go!

3. Learn To Love Yourself

I have always been told you can't love anyone until you learn to love yourself. Take care of yourself and just learn to listen to what your body wants. I'm not saying to masturbate but if that helps to do, it is not something to be ashamed of! What I am talking about it being able to wake up and be like "You look great," or "Just have a positive view on yourself don't let the negative things get in the way.

4. Learn A New Language

French, Spanish, Sign Language are all great languages but all languages are beautiful. It may be hard but even a few simple sentences can impress anyone. I will be the first to admit Spanish is hard, but also very nice to have this day of age. Although I may not be the best at speaking Spanish or French, I can read about most of it. Sign Language is a great skill to have, although you do not speak and it's all done by hand you never know who you will be able to help with this skill, and knowing you may have been the only one around who understood.

5. Read A Book

Making time to read can seem impossible with work and school and life, but this year try to make room. Find a new book or relive an old favorite. Get out of your word and enter a whole new universe. Go to the library and search through thousands of books and you might just find your next favorite book.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.
