Every January, we create a list of New Year's resolutions. Things like going to the gym, eating healthier, or staying in more. And every year, none of them are followed through after two weeks. It can be hard keeping a resolution but there are some easy ways that you can!

1. Get a planner.

Planning helps. Write out your entire day, every day in order to keep track of what you have to accomplish and already have. If it's right in front of you every day, it'll be hard to not pay attention.

2. Follow your planner.

Set a strict schedule, and stay on track. Whatever your resolution is, if it's in your planner, you know it has to happen. This also means that you're always planning a time for it so it doesn't get put off till the end of the night or never happening.

3. Use your reminder app.

Set reminders for yourself. Remember to check your planner, do your resolutions, and anything else. That way, everything you need done is reinforced.

4. Find an accountability buddy.

You keep track of them and they keep track of you. There's no way for you to flake out on yourself if there is someone right by your side. You just have to pick a trustworthy buddy!

5. Form good habits.

Once you form a habit, it's hard to break. Start small, and then work your way up. Habits take 21 days to form, which is less than a month! You can do it.

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.

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.

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:

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.
