New Year Resolutions That Matter

Can't change yourself in a year but we can use it to get closer

New year new me is complete BS so let's set some realistic "resolutions" that we can possibly make happen. Stop with wanting to go to the gym or other basic goals you've heard about because these need to actually be your own original choices that you'll want to do.

No cleaning your closet is not something you can work an entire year on, go with something like listening to song lyrics more than the noise so you can build a better understanding of it, and doing this trains your mind to focus as well as lifting your mood for a positive outlook of life.

I am going with a theme for my "resolutions"; Positive mind positive life, because why would I spend this entire year being as miserable as I was last year. With that, I want to try (and ultimately fail) a bunch of small cute things that could help. Like drinking tea more often, or voluntarily going on more walks. But enough about my future fails, here's some that could us all:

-pet more dogs

-eat more ice cream

-go to that random party(with trusty friends somewhere that isn't sketchy)

But over all make ourselves happier. We cannot completely change ourselves heart and mind in only 365 days because that's something completely instilled in you but we can use it to get one step closer to the person we want /need to become. So stop forcing it to happen because it will blow up in your face. Reflect back on what happened last year and think about what needs the change and Slowly accomplish what you believe are minor goals, those matter most. So let's kick off this year to our potential selves with a brighter future. The ball is in your court, what do you want to become

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
