Happy New Year!

We’re excited to be leasing for the 2017-2018 school year! There’s still time to renew your lease for next year, so please contact the office if you would like more information. Keep an eye out for the fun events we have planned for all of our wonderful residents. It’s our goal to make your experience here at Hannah Lofts one you’ll remember. Contact the leasing office for more information and, as always, please let us know if we can do anything to make your stay at Hannah Lofts more enjoyable. Go green!

 

Special Highlight 

You can put in work orders online 24/7 at www.liveathannah.com. Please remember to call the office for a maintenance emergency.

Please keep our community clean and properly dispose of your trash in the designated trash receptacles. You will be fined if you fail to do so. Also, don’t forget to visit our pet stations to properly dispose of pet waste. We have installed turf in the courtyard by the hot tub, so be sure to not take your pet out for the bathroom there. If you leave trash on your doorstep or outside the trash compactor rooms, you will be fined! Friendly reminder: Only park in your assigned area, or else you may be fined or even towed!

If you are away for an extended period of time, please keep your heat on and set to no lower than 60 degrees. This will prevent the pipes from freezing and causing damage.

 

Reminders & Updates 

Don’t forget: January rent is still due on January 1! Late fees will begin to apply on the morning of January 5 if rent has not been paid. If you are not here to pay, you can always make a payment online at liveathannah.com.

The office will be closed on January 1. On January 2, office hours will be 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., and normal hours will resume on January 3.

Turning Resolutions into Reality

Did you know that only 8% of people are successful in keeping their New Year’s resolutions? While that may sound discouraging, there are some very practical ways to beat the odds and see success this year! Whether you make New Year’s resolutions or are one of the 38% of Americans who absolutely never makes them, anyone will benefit from a commitment to continuous improvement. Here are some tips for a successful 2017 — and beyond:

Define your “why”: Whether your goal is to improve your GPA or get in better shape, create a “why” statement for any goal you have. Achieving goals can be challenging, so make sure you stay motivated by keeping the purpose in mind!

Write it down: According to numerous studies, the simple act of writing down your goals increases your likelihood of success significantly. When you write down your goals, make them specific and measurable, and put your goals somewhere you will see them.

Tell a friend: Another factor shown to increase your likelihood of success is telling a friend about your goals. You increase success even more when you share progress reports with them.

Take action: Always ask the simple and powerful question, “Is what I am doing getting me closer to where I want to be?” If the answer is yes, keep going! If no, try to make progress by taking even a small step in the right direction.

Enjoy the journey: Remember that much of the benefit of intentional improvement comes in the process, so take time to reflect, assess, and enjoy the journey!

As a resident at a Campus Advantage community, we are committed to much more than providing you a great place to live. Our mission is also to help create rewarding living, learning, and career experiences.
