College Student New Year’s Resolutions

New Year’s resolutions are always fun to plan so you can be the best version of yourself. I also like sharing my New Year’s resolutions with my friends so they can hold me accountable! Here are some college student-related New Year’s resolutions I thought of and some of my own:

Go to the gym

You’re paying for it in your student fees and you know it’s good for you. Even if it is just walking on the treadmill a bit between classes, practice keeping your body moving this year!

Use a planner

I actually use this notepad to keep track of my weekly tasks. It has changed my organization level so much! I just keep it on my desk and I can see all the assignments, student organization meetings, and work shifts I have for the week.

Go to class

I know in college it is much easier to skip class than in high school, but don’t take advantage of that unless you want to be more stressed during finals week teaching your own self the material you missed. Don’t be lazy, get out of bed!

Eat healthier

It is easy to just grab fast food on the go between classes or push off eating lunch until you get home. Your body needs good fuel, so think about all the greens you could have for lunch or pack a smoothie instead. I have been loving overnight oats, which still lets me be on the go if needed. I bought these containers and love them!

Study more

I know, not the most fun resolution but you do need to study at some point. Studying more weekly, maybe really hard an hour or two a day, will be more efficient than cramming for an exam. Do yourself a favor and start incorporating studying into your schedule to hold yourself accountable

Make more time for friends

College is not a time you want to shut yourself in, put yourself out there and don’t let your friends do all the planning for you. This can be as easy as doing something together that you already have to do like studying together or grabbing food.
