It's that time of year again. It's time to say goodbye to Winter Break and hello to a new semester. It's time to say goodbye to countless days of Netflix, mom and dad's money, home-cooked meals, your pets, and your very comfy bed. Instead, say hello to a brand new semester and everything that comes with it. Say hello to new classes and all the studying they will bring. Say hello (and goodbye) to all the money you will spend on food, wine, more food and Target runs. Say hello to friends and the new adventures y'all will go on together. And say hello to the opportunity to start over, to wipe the slate clean and begin anew. So because it's a brand new semester, I've decided to compile a list of new semester resolutions (in lieu of a daunting New Year's resolution).

1. Be present.

2. Laugh more.

3. Make new friends.

4. Spend less. Save more.

5. Say no to the fifth Dr Pepper of the day.

6. Call mom and dad more.

7. Stay in touch with old friends.

8. Grow deeper with best friends.

9. Be more focused in class.

As in don't do this.

10. Study before the night before.

11. Be spontaneous.

12. Spend more quality time with God.

13. Call the siblings.

Even if they're annoying, you love them anyway.

14. Talk less.

15. Listen more.

16. Run at least once a week.

I mean, this counts, right?

17. Love more.

18. Fight less.

19. Be passionate.

20. Try a new restaurant.

21. Order something different at a favorite restaurant.

22. Call the grandparents.

23. Pay attention to the news.

24. Spend less time on social media.

25. Become truly wild for WyldLife.

26. Say yes to making memories.

27. But say no if there's a test the next day.

28. Stop going to Taco Bell so much.

No, no you don't.

29. Live life well.
