28 New Year's Resolutions You Can Actually Keep
Rhett Allain

Nothing feels worse than making a New Year's Resolution and failing to stick with it for more than a few days. This year, I have collected several responses from fellow (anonymous) college students to help you out with some resolutions you'll actually be able to accomplish! Remember: you have an entire year to get these done. Now get out there and succeed!

1. "Spend an entire day binge watching Netflix."

2. "Go to the gym at least once."

3. "Go the entire week without skipping a class."

4. "Use an entire eos chapstick by the end of the year (no losing it)!"

5. "Finish a box of wine in a weekend."

6. "Eat an entire small pizza by yourself."

7. "Say 'hi' to one person a day."

8. "Change your sheets once more than you did last year."

9. "Open that textbook you bought at least once."

10. "Think something nice about yourself every day."

11. "Actually take those vitamins your mom sent to school with you."

12. "Pet every dog you can."

13. "Drink more water!!! And more vodka!!!"

14. "Always say yes to mozzarella sticks."

15. "Memorize all of Fergalicious."

16. "Have more than $4.75 in your bank account at all times."

17. "Do your laundry before running out of clothes."

18. "Write the correct year on your assignments."

19. "Make sure Res Life doesn't find your bunny."

20. "No blacking out on weekdays."

21. "Dance less like a white girl."

22. "Don't fall asleep in the library."

23. "Procrastinate productively--learn the Single Ladies dance instead of doing that paper."

24. "Actually get rid of the clothes you don't wear."

25. "Call your parents once a week."

26. "Remember to take off your makeup before bed."

27. "Get a fish and don't name it after a human."

28. "Buy yourself some festive socks!"

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.

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
