10 (Kinda) Easy New Year's Resolutions For A Better 2017
Cross Walk

1. Eat 3 SORTA HEALTHY meals a day.

I’m talking some kind of fruits and veggies here people.

2. Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night.

This is super hard for everyone to do because there is always something going on, but at some point you need to just put everything aside and make some time for yourself and your bed.

3. Smile at strangers.

They may think you’re weird but it will make you feel good to smile.

4. Cut yourself some slack.

Stop being so hard on yourself. I bet you’re doing the best you can and you need to realize that you can’t do more than your best.

5. Minimize your time with negative people.

It’s super hard to just cut negative people out, so try to just minimize your time with them.

6. Make attainable goals.

Don’t make a goal to just “lose weight”, make a goal to exercise for 3 minites every day.

7. Do one thing every day that makes you happy.

It may sound corny, but when you make yourself happy, people will want to be around you more. Make it one LEGAL thing that makes you happy ;)

8.Check in with the people around you more.

Send a god morning text to your friends and family just to see how their days are going. It will make them feel appreciated and you feel good knowing you are a good friend.

9.Get fresh air.

Believe it or not, going for a walk actually does help you to clear your head and will make you feel more relaxed.

10.If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Let your words be few and meaningful. Don’t get into petty fights because and you always feel like you have to say something back to the other person.

And let us hope that 2017 is not as sucky as 2016 was...happy New Year friends!!!!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
