The end of the year is a time for everyone to take stock of the year, and students are no exception. But to avoid dwelling on failures, setbacks, or regrets from the past year, it's best to focus on the new year ahead. Student resolutions are a great way to get off to a good start in 2016, so get your lists ready!

#1: I will be more diligent in class
After skipping a lot of classes in the first semester, you have fallen behind and when preparing for the exams, you have realized how much time you have wasted filling in the gaps and filling in the gaps. So this year, there is no question of finding yourself facing an abysmal delay just before preparing for the second semester exams, you will focus on being more diligent in class and thus avoid the scares at exam time.

#2: I'll get back into sports
With the stress of the end of the first semester, the work overload, you've neglected the gym and today you feel tired, a little depressed and not very happy about returning to your intensive work schedule. Signing up for a gym or a sports activity that you attend regularly will help you avoid these slumps. When you practice a sport, you secrete endorphins, also known as feel-good hormones, which will help you feel better and channel your stress, and why not meet new people.

#3: I will eat more healthily
Stress and disappointments have created a need to compensate, and you have resorted to junk food, chocolate, and other sweets that are not very helpful for your body's functioning. The New Year is an opportunity to take control of your diet and prioritize a healthy lifestyle that will also help you feel more in shape.

#4: I will disconnect from social networks
Even though social networks have become essential today, it is entirely possible to distance yourself and better control the time you spend on them. Even if you feel like you are relaxing by connecting to these social networks, it is only an illusion and it is much better to take a walk to relax: at least there you will clear your mind and stretch your legs.

#5: I'll quit smoking
Your smoking has been steadily increasing throughout the first half of the year, and you've decided to kick this bad habit. The beginning of the year is a good opportunity to do so. If you're worried you won't be able to manage on your own, you can consult a specialist, buy patches, or join a group.

#6: I will work more regularly
The two weeks before the exams, you worked non-stop without really being able to take a step back from your revisions, so for the second semester, you decided to work more regularly to avoid the cramming of the last weeks of revisions. Set yourself revision times for your courses and try to stick to them until the end of the year, but don't be excessive because you will minimize your chances of being able to stick to them.

#7: I'll go to bed earlier
Irregular schedules and short nights are not conducive to the proper functioning of your body and brain. Your memory and nervous system need sufficiently long and organized periods of rest to function optimally. So, try as much as possible to avoid going to bed too late and sleeping too short; you will gain in efficiency.

#8: I will improve my English
English has become a must at the professional level today, but you haven't really found the time until now to improve your skills. The beginning of the year can be the ideal time to start a course, adopt new habits, or plan a few trips to English-speaking countries. Time flies, so don't neglect these little extras that can be decisive when signing your first job contract. There are now many solutions for improving your English even from home; you just need to dedicate a few hours to it regularly.

#9: I'll be more careful with my spending.
Christmas presents have forced you to empty your bank account, and you've been a little lax with your budget throughout the first half of the year. So, it's time to get back on track and take back control of your budget. Here again, there are many methods to avoid overdrafts and other unpleasant surprises that penalize your daily life. Here again, regularity is key, and you just need to set yourself a fixed amount per week and never exceed it.

#10: I will educate myself.
With a tight budget, the first expenses we are often forced to cut are cultural outings, and this is to the detriment of your personal enrichment. The best way to avoid these drastic cuts is again to set yourself a monthly cultural budget and buy your tickets in advance to benefit from more advantageous prices.
