  • Start your New Year By Margaret Hester (with inputs from Liz Hester) * WEnewsmagazine We laugh at them. We make fun of the people who make them. Sometimes they're serious, crazy, weird or funny, We secretly feel bad when we let them fall by the wayside. Here are what we consider to be some of the top New Year's Resolutions in no particular order along with a few tips and suggestions to actually make them work this time. 4. Lose weight Mom may make a terrific pumpkin pie, but if getting into your jeans isn't as easy this semester as it was last, then dropping a few pounds could be the answer. And you're not alone. About 9 million children and teens aged 6 to 19 years are overweight. They join the more than 60 million U.S. adults considered obese, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Most important to losing weight and keeping it off is to cut calories and exercise. You also need to find a combination that works well for your lifestyle and personality. If you like to do things on your own, then check out the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Web site. it contains a comprehensive list of resources for diet planning, starting an exercise routine as well as facts about health problems related to being overweight. http ZN hi Ifyou need group support then try and find an exercise buddy to help get you cout running or to the gym. There a couple of gym facilities available on campus to students FREE OF CHARGE. They include Reid Gym, as well as the usually forgotten Breese gym. You'll never again be able to go to a gym for free, so why not go now? And if a gym isn't your style, check out Base Camp Cullowhee. They offer many trips and other outdoor activities to get your blood flowing. You can check out BCC online at: htto://www.wcu.edu/univcenter/outdoors/ or call 227-3633. Also, the Health Center sponsors Weight Loss Wednesdays at 5 p.m. in Bird 224, The session offers group support for weight loss as well as diet education. For more information contact Karen White at Kawhite@wcu.edu or 227-2088. 2. Quit smoking (or stop spending your own money for bad breath) Smoking can be one of the hardest addictions to kick. The facts about the long-term health risks and diseases are well publicized and know. It's how to quit that can be harder to determine. The main answer is having a bit of willpower and supportive friends. There are many products, such as nicotine gum and patches, on the market to help curb the need for a cigarette, but you have to make up your mind that you're going to quit for any of it to work. The government Web site http:/www.smokefree. gow offers information and expert services to help you through the entire process. It also has a list of local and state resources to make quitting successful 3. Improve study habits and grades (eam that diploma) it may be everyone's dream to make it on the dean's list this year, but let's face it, not all of us have actually done everything we could to get the grade we wanted. So here's a new semester to start again and do it right. One of the most valuable resources available on-campus, that often goes ignored, is the Writing Center. I'm sure you've heard it many times in class, "Go to the Writing Center. But seriously, go to the Writing Center. They can help with citing on the paper, writing in general, or even help with the topic matter. Whatever itis, they can help. To set up an appointment, call 227-7197" And if are stil in the procrastinating mode, and working on that paper last minute, the Writing Genter also has an online resource available. Information about how to cite, help with writing and other items can be found at htto/www. But papers aren't the only things we need help with sometimes. However, there's stil help available on campus. The Catamount Academic Tutoring center is now open. They offer skill workshops and small-group tutoring, all with peer tutoring. i Math is a subject that most of us dread, however, there's hope. WCU offers a ight, and keep those resolutions! WCnewsmagazine 11 math tutoring center. Students can come to the center, work on thelr assignments, and when help is needed, student tutors are available. It's an excellent way to get your math homework finished - stress free. 4. Eat healthier (Leam to love those veggies!) Let's face it, Western isn't known for its amazing dining choices. However, smart, healthy choices can stil be made. The best way to get started is to take a look at the Food Guide Pyramid. It may sound like your health class freshmen year, but i's the best way to leam. Majority of us dont even know what a portion looks like. The Food Guide Pyramid can help with that, as well as help you make healthy decisions for a balanced diet. instead of those Chicken sandwiches, why not head over to the salad bar in Dodson? There are many options there to make a large, filing, but healthy salad If that's not enough, Brown also offers an even larger selection when it comes to salad toppings. Still looking for some extra help? Western has got you covered. The Wellness Center on campus can help you make healthy decisions that you can live with. There are plenty of opportunities available. Call 227-3471 for more information. 5. Start/imaintain budget (Everyone can use more cash) Making ends meet in college is especially challenging when most students, rely on loans and parents for the majority of their income. Many students graduate with large amounts of credit card debt on top of student loans due to poor budgeting. One of the main ways to avoid being in the red every month is to write a budget and stick with it, so brush off those Excel skills and get started. Make a list of all monthly expenses, including taking your girifriend to McDonald's. Then determine how much of your income you can spend on each item. This means you may have to ask her to order from the Value Menu, but hey, at least your budget is stil in place. Then keep track of all the money you spend (on each item for the month. After a few months, look for ways to save money. One good Web site is About.com _(http:/financialplan.about.com/msubbudg. htm). i] 6. Get organized (I's easier to finish that project when you can find the assignment) Whether it's keeping all your class notes in order or finding your soccer ball, organization does have advantages. With the New Year and new semester, i's a {great time to get your life under control before it gets too messy. There are countless suggestions from many sources on the Web, but here are a few good tips. a. For class notes, have some type of binder or folder to put all loose paper in to Keep them together. This will make it easier to find all the materials at the end of the semester for exam time b. For your room, put your clothes away. This sounds simple, but it decreases clutter and increases the chances that your roommate won't steal your favorite sweater because she found it behind the couch, Taking five minutes daily can save you hours of lost time searching for something you need * aera 7. Get a better job (or just get one, especially if you're graduating) Make or update your resume and drop by Career Services to begin the job search process. I's never fun/but WCU's office exists to make looking for a job as'easy as possible: Their'main goal is to help you get paid, so take advantage of the resume workshops, recruitment fairs and interview help. Check the Web site (careers,wcu.edu) for updated information, but mark Feb. 15-16 on the calendar for resume critiques enduhelp. Career Week kicks off with a summer job and intemship fair on March 14,
