It’s that time of year again, the time where we all pretend we’re really invested in a class the first day but are actually thinking, “Four research papers?! Am I sure I want to be a history major?” This is the beauty of the add/drop period that only comes but once a semester. But, my fellow Collegiettes, spring is special as it not only marks the beginning of a new semester, but of a new year, and since the world didn’t end, pshh…Mayans, we should embrace it! Now is the time to take charge of your life and switch up your schedule, and I don’t just mean academically. Take this opportunity to kick those bad decisions to the curb and focus on keeping yourself happy and healthy. Wanna make 2013 a positive year? Here’s how…
