My New Year’s resolution is to become more fit! I want to learn how to weight lift properly and run more! Washboard abs wouldn’t be that bad either!
– Elizabeth Schmitt, Campus Correspondent, Mount Holyoke College
I want to run at least 3 times a week while I’m abroad in Morocco. Rabat is right on the coast so I can run on the beach in the morning. No ice, no pile-up of extracurricular commitments, no excuses!
-Marissa Alioto, Contributing Writer, Bowdoin College
My New Year’s resolution is to go green! I feel like it’s so important to take care of yourself, let alone the world, so it’s crucial to be cautious about what we use.
–Kelsey Mulvey, Contributing Writer, Boston University
I want to do better at staying in touch with my friends from home. I used to be so good about it, but it’s just gotten harder since we graduated two and a half years ago!
-Sarah Ramirez, Campus Correspondent, Fordham University
I want to be a more optimistic, relaxed person. I also want to stop making the same mistakes and hoping for different results.
-Erica Avesian, Contributing Writer, University of Michigan
This year I’m going to try to eat more fruits and veggies. My mom is on Weight Watchers and they really stress that, so I’m going to try it out myself (even though I’m on a college budget). I also want to pursue my passion for cooking and baking, so I think I’m going to start a food blog! I love being in the kitchen, but a food blog will hold me accountable for a writing schedule and it will broaden my eating repertoire!
-Mary Beth Hills, Contributing Writer, Aquinas College
Drink more water! It’s simple and something I can definitely accomplish. That, and to live more simply! I won’t waste any time in doing what makes me happy and I will be less afraid to tell people how I really feel.
-Serena Piper, Campus Correspondent, University of Oregon
To become fluent in French!
-Tia Meyers, Campus Correspondent, Quinnipiac University
To smile at people passing by me.

My resolution is to do my homework earlier in the evening so that I can get more sleep on school nights this semester!
-Meghan DeMaria, Contributing Writer, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
My New Year’s resolution is to be open to anything. I want to try different internships, surround myself with people that I normally wouldn’t, and take opportunities when they are presented to me. With one year left of college, I need to make the best of it starting now.
-Emma St. Laurent, Campus Correspondent, Salve Regina
I asked for a pull-up bar for Christmas so I’m hoping to be able to do 10 by 2013. Woah, dream big!
-Laura Maddox, Campus Correspondent, Appalachian State University
To pick out my outfit for the next day the night before, rather than just throwing something on in a rush when I wake up!
-Stephanie Kaplan, Co-founder & Editor-in-Chief, Harvard alum
As backwards as it may sound — more play, less work! After a grueling last semester, I’m determined to start this year off with friends, fun and new social experiences. With that said, I’m feeling that time management will be a resolution as well!
-Lindsay Shoemaker, Contributing Writer, Georgia College & State University
Stop overanalyzing everything!
-Alexa Johnson, Campus Correspondent, James Madison University
My New Year’s resolution is to write to my grandparents every other week. It’s really hard to stay in touch with anyone beyond my immediate family since I started college! But I think a quick note to people you care about can go a long way.
–Brooke Hofer, Contributing Writer, University of Missouri
