15 Things Not To Do In 2015

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Point Park chapter.

 

2014 is over and done with. Did you make some mistakes you regret? Did you party to hard or fall on you face one to many times? Well, 2015 is here! That means a new year and new opportunities. You are another year older, another year wiser. So, here are the top 15 things you shouldn’t be doing in 2015.

 

15. Blowing Your Money

Save that money you worked hard for. You never know when you are going to need it. If friends want to do something, plan a Netflix date or go out to McDonalds. If you are in need of retail therapy, go to places like H&M.  You will find trendy things for cheap.

 

14. Black Out Drunk

It is okay to party, however blacking out and making a fool out of your self isn’t cute. Just saying.

 

13. Sleeping With Randoms

Um, you met this person after one night and you are already sleeping with them? Have some respect for yourself. One night stands are so tacky. Get to know someone before you share that intimate bond with them.

 

 

12. Tinder/Grindr

Girls and gay boys, try OkCupid. It is a breath of fresh air and not as trashy. I have done all the dating sites in my day and OkCupid is by far the best.

 

11. Crying Over An Ex

They are an “ex” for reason. Keep it that way.

 

10. Tweeting “Blank Space” Lyrics

Yes, it is the catchiest song of all time. But if I see one more “O my god, who is she?” tweet on my timeline, I will sue Taylor Swift for harassment.

 

9. Selfie After Selfie.

You’re beautiful. So stop with the selfie after selfie on Instagram. Maybe do one once or twice a week. Not 15. You will lose followers.

 

8. Not Going To Class

You don’t pay for school to skip it. You attend college for a reason. Value your education and get your a#$ out of bed. Study hard and make the grades. The parties will always be here.

 

7. Letting People Use You

If you don’t want to do something, then don’t do it. Don’t let people take advantage of you.

 

6. Being A Slug

Get to the gym and get that body you always dreamed of. This is your year.  Get in the best shape of your life. Cheetos did not bring you happiness. In the words of Britney Spears, “You betta Work B*tch!”.

 

5. Trash Talking Others

You aren’t 13 anymore. If you don’t like someone, don’t say anything at all.

 

4. Getting STD’S

Be careful. Be safe. No one wants to mess with that.

 

3. Getting Sick In Public

Don’t be that person that everyone judges when you go out. Keep yourself together and have fun.

 

2. Frowning

Smile, you have an awesome life in front of you. Doors are going to open for you. Just wait and great things will come.

 

1.Not Having “You” Time

This is the most important thing ever. Make sure you are taking care of yourself. Make a day where the whole day is just dedicated to “yourself”. You need these days and you will be on the road to a successful 2015.

 

2014 might have been messy, but 2015 is here and it is time you have an awesome year. Have fun, laugh and try to avoid everything on the list. Trust me, you will be shining like Beyonce does every day.
