By Maggie Elliot For me, nothing marks a new beginning as well as a fresh coat of snow. In a season of resolutions, before diving headfirst into the year before us, it can be useful to pause and reflect on 2015. How have you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone-and did it pay off? Which accomplishments are you most proud of? As a college student, there are many opportunities to grow outside of the academic realm. Maybe you have some handy recipes up your  sleeves, or are more productive in the mornings than the year before. Perhaps through your studies you are gaining confidence in your abilities within your chosen career, or have made some great friends you can rely on for support. How will the habits you develop now maximize your personal growth for the year ahead? From getting more sleep to staying informed on world issues, there are countless chances to make the most out of every day.   I hope you are proud of how far you’ve come
