7 Ways To Start The New Year That Are NOT Resolutions

The holiday season is often a whirlwind. Sometimes we get so caught up in it that we vow to ourselves as soon as the new year is here we're going to be "better." We're going to make drastic changes.

Sure, sometimes that works and sometimes it's good. But we don't have to go into the new year with a long list of resolutions for it to be a good year.

There are many different ways to start the new year that will have a positive impact.

1. With a smile

Smiling can actually boost your immune system and your physical health, as well as allowing you to live up to seven years longer, according to Benefits Bridge.

How's that for that "get healthy" resolution, huh? Start the year off with a smile!

2. With family

I know the holidays are jampacked with family time. Some love that and for others it can be too much. But your family are the ones who are always there for you.

You'll have the memories of New Years celebrations for years to come! And it's a fun way to start new family traditions.

3. With your dog

Your dog is going to need someone to protect him from the loud firework noise. And if he can't hear that, he'll be so excited that everyone else is so excited that he just adds to the celebration.

4. By praying

I know a few families who start the new year off by praying together as a family. I think that is a really cool tradition to keep God in the center of the new year you're entering in.

5. With friends

Nothing beats ringing in the new year with your closest friends. It doesn't have to be a big party to be special or memorable.

6. In your PJs

Not going to lie, that's how I started 2019 (and it was wonderful). Getting dressed up is fun and all, but are you really comfortable?

Pajamas are the best way to start your new year because you're already comfy and cozy as the new year starts. What a good way to begin something.

7. With a kiss

Of course, this had to make the list. It's cheesy and cliche, but we love a good New Years kiss.

Ringing in the new year with the person you love is very special. I believe that the kiss is special with it.

You do not need a resolution to start your new year off well. There are small, subtle things you can do to get it off to a good start from the time the clock strikes midnight!

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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. 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.

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.
