New Years resolutions are always the epiphany of the new year rolling in. Gym membership subscriptions go up and goals are set to achieve the best year of your life. I am one of the weirdos that loves to celebrate the fresh start. I personally always make a list of resolutions for the year and these goals are things that I have set myself to achieve and not to remain on my list of things to do. With that, I set goals that are easily achievable and simple to do. They are more of a habit breaking list of to do's for the year. Then I always write them all down in the notes of my phone so that I can be reminded of them whenever I need to.

I also make a quote of the year. Something that sums up all my resolutions and makes me get excited to accomplish my list. I think of this saying more than I do my list of resolutions because when I read this quote or song lyric I am instantly aware of what I'm doing in the year. My favorite thing to do is to pick a song for the year so that when it comes times to wrap up the year you can look back and listen to that song.

Setting these goals for myself allows me to grow. It makes me feel so accomplished when I check off all the boxes and I can confidently say that I am doing the best that I can to be the best person I can. Make sure that all of these goals are things that you really truly think you'll be able to do so that ways it's harder to give up. It settles me in such a crazy transitioning period from year to year and only allows me to grow. New Years Resolutions are always seen as something that is so stupid and no one actually does but when you put your mind to it, they are just a reason for you to grow. New Year, Same. But, New Year, new goals to achieve and conquer.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
