It's New Year's Eve, and you have a list of things in your head that you want to improve upon. The way I see it, everyone has "doable" items and reachable items on their list. But do we strive for what's doable or the reachable?

Here are some to-dos that are more realistic for the average college student, paired with my heavily sarcastic thoughts of them. I mean dream on, but let's start small.

1. Getting out of bed before noon on a weekend.

Sleep is REALLY nice on a weekend. But don't you feel like you wasted the day? No? Okay, that's cool too.

2. Waking up in time for that 8 a.m. class. Every time.

Resist the urge to hit snooze...more than once...or not.

3. Not procrastinating on at least one assignment.

Project is assigned: "Ah, that's a long way off."

Professor reminds class about project: "Hmm, maybe I should start that."

Professor says it's due by midnight that day: "OH $#*! THAT'S TODAY!"

4. Make a budget based on your income...and stick with it.

Okay, if I don't eat out this week I can pay my credit card bill. *Gets email coupon for 4.99 Fill Your Cup FroYo*. I'll try again next week.

5. Stop going to Chipotle/ Pizza Hut/any other fast food place three times a week.

I may or may not have been guilty of this...Ya know, from time to time. Cooking is effort, and the caf smells weird.

6. Go to the Gym.

I know bottles of alcohol can be heavy, but that doesn't count.

7. Expand your social life.

Netflix is a social life...kinda. My bed is my friend.

8. Make a loan payment BEFORE the interest kicks in.

I don't know man, I just spent a lot of money at Michael's on crafts I will never make...

9. Maintain a well-balanced diet.

So...get lettuce on my burrito bowl. Got it.

10. Balance time for homework and socializing.

What's that? Take my homework out to the bar? Nah, that won't work for my dancing plans.

11. Following through on a New Year's Resolution...

Well, it's November...better luck next year!
