6 Lies You Told Yourself This New Years Eve

For as long as anyone can remember, New Years festivities are a hit or miss. You either end up kissing the love of your life as the ball drops in Times Square or utterly disappointed. If you're one of the many pessimistic NYE celebrators, it's usually disappointment which is all fine and dandy, but it's certainly not okay to lie to yourself because your life isn't a movie. Point and case:

1. I probably won't get that drunk.

Says everyone right before a champagne blackout and massive hangover.

2. I won't talk to my ex this year.

Yeah okay, until February rolls around and you're dateless on Valentine's day.


3. I'll find someone to kiss by midnight.

Even if that someone is named KORBEL.


4. This year will be soOOooOOOoo much better than last year!

We've all been telling ourselves this since our awkward stages began.


5. No, I don't feel nauseous at all.

Dancing + bubbly champagne + general excitement is bound to equal queasiness.


6. I'm already starting my gym grind.

This is the most infamous lie told by this generation hands down.

Until next New Years Eve, everyone! Happy lying.

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.
