The Nine Most Common New Year's Resolutions

Every year, people make promises to themselves about the new year. Whether those promises are big or just tiny ones, they still can be considered a "New Year's Resolution."

1. Eat healthier

This one is very popular. People tend to treat the new year as a new leaf, so eating healthier falls into this category.

2. Get fit / Start exercising more

Right after the holidays and relaxing with family, people tend to feel like they've lost themselves. So getting fit and exercising more falls into this category

3. Be more organized

Life can be messy. Sometimes life's so messy that it requires a New Year's Resolution about it!

4. Lose weight

Some feel like they have packed on the pounds since the holidays. Because of this, it usually evolves into the common New Year's resolution "lose weight."

5. Drink more water

With all of the different options of soda to drink and all of the ways you can drink iced tea, water may feel like a boring choice. However, water is the healthiest option and that is probably why it ends up on everyone's list

6. Be a better person

Because everyone loves a humble and kind person. So why not choose the new year to put your snarky comments aside and to be a more humble person!?

7. Live life to the fullest

Feel like you're not living your life to the fullest potential? Be like everyone else and make this your New Year's resolution!

8. Spend less and save more

Everyone hates spending money, especially after Black Friday and Christmas. Your wallet is probably feeling pretty empty right now, which is why every year people promise themselves that they're going to start spending less and saving more!

9. Actually complete my New Year's Resolution

The epitome of "I swear I'm going to do it this year!" Basically, a New Year's resolution about a New Year's resolution... how classic!

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.
