10 College Student Resolutions You May Be Able To Keep
Everypixel

New year, new you? Let's be honest, who actually keeps with resolutions? I don't... usually. BUT here are some easy ones college students can handle.

1. Be committed to your classes

If you're anything like me, then you are guilty of just going through the motions of class. Engage, take notes, this is your future so take control of it!

2. For every dollar you spend on dollar night at the bar, take half and put it away.

College is about learning how to budget, and while we all love thirsty Thursday's, there will probably be a point when you need those rainy day dollars.

3. Don't drunk text the ex

Easier said than done right?

4. Fill your gas tank up all the way

Yeah yeah we all just want to put $5 in a call it a day

5. Say less mean things

Be the drunk nice girl that wants to be everyone's best friend, but sober.

6. Drink more water

Water is good for you skin, so less zits (T God), good for your body, good for losing weight.

WIN WIN WIN

7. Journaling

Keep a journal, your 20's are all about finding yourself and that comes with a lot of undefined feelings. Journaling keeps your mind clear and helps you understand your feelings.

Maybe even cause less "crazy girlfriend freak outs."

8. G.S.N.L

Probably some of the most underrated college tasks; gym, study, nap, laundry. Making time for these tasks are as difficult as getting up for your Friday 9:30, so let's aim for 2 out of these 4.

9. If it won't matter in 5 years don't stress about it for more than 5 minutes

College is 4 years of non-stop stress; why add to it with things that won't matter in 5 years? Will you care in 5 years that your BFFs didn't invite you out that one friday night? Probably not. So let it go, and watch a movie instead.

10. Find your person

So pulling the famous "you're my person" quote from Grey's Anatomy, find someone you feel like you can tell anything and everything to. No not your silly boyfriend, a gal pal. Us girls we need someone who understands our awful and annoying qualities because if they can put up with them they will ever let you settle for a boy who doesn't.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
