This post was brought to you by second year Geography and Natural Hazards student/volcano expert, Kirsty…
New Year’s resolutions. We make them every time the clocks strike 12am on 1st January, and then utter something generic like: “This is a new year, new me!”, or “This is MY year!”… let’s see if this year, we can actually stick it out.
1) Drink less.
– Let’s start off with the main one: drinking less alcohol. For those who do it for sport, it’s never going to happen… On to number two.
2) Cut down on the kebabs.
– We all know how easy it is to get into a cycle of unhealthy eating and as much as we try to avoid it, that 3am kebab has you number and it will be calling.
3) Stop twerking.
– You might think you’re Miley Cyrus on the dance-floor, but the rest of Kasbah knows better. Please stick to this resolution… please?!
4) Leave more than three days to revise for exams/plan your coursework.
– We make a concerted effort getting our mental study heads on, but spend such a long time doing so that before we know it, it’s deadline day.
5) Get some work experience or a part time job.
– Working in McDonald’s isn’t a life fail – it gets you that bit of extra cash that you need. Cook the food, but don’t eat the food (see n0. 2).
6) Buy less coffee.
– Costa in The Hub must be raking it in! Everybody wants to try and cut down on the caffeine, but we never see it through.
7) Read around your subject more.
– It’s not called “reading a degree” for nothing.
8) Do more housework.
– There’s always one flatmate that disregards their cleaning responsibilities. If that’s you, your “New Year’s non-resolution” has made it onto the list.
9) Save.
– Imagine the holidays you could go on during the summer!
10) Be less stressed.
– Compared to some things, being a student is not so stressful. Take a breath, whip out your course book and chill out.
– Kirsty 🙂
