With resolutions for the New Year of 2017 in full swing, people are out and about with volunteering in the community, widening their networking circles, and packing the gym with goals of weight loss. Each and every year, many people choose a resolution they will use throughout the year to help improve their lives and well-being. However, it is very rare these resolutions last longer than a month... or even a week or two, really. I am guilty of such New Years Resolution fails, and I'm betting many-- ok most-- of you are as well. While the following resolutions and the reality of them are listed below, maybe you will be one of the few who will stick to their resolution.

1. "Going to the gym regularly."

Or maybe regularly as in regularly skipping the gym for more sleep.

2. "One hour of cardio a day, no excuses."

Horizontal running counts as cardio right?

3. "I WILL eat healthier."

*Inhales an entire large pizza, breadsticks, and large Dr. Pepper.*

4. *Start of the Semester* "I am so getting a 4.0!"

By the end of the semester your motto becomes, "Well, C's get degrees..."

5. "No more social media."

*Checks Instagram 3 hours later*

6."My new Lilly Planner is going to make me so organized."

*4 days later* What was that assignment for next week, again? Or was it this week...?

7. "This is the year I avoid dating and focus on my myself."

*Changes Facebook relationship status 2 months later*

8. "I will spend less money and get serious about budgeting."

Well... maybe just a couple stores...

9. "No more drinking. Or... at least drink less."

One glass of wine should suffice...

10. "I will make an effort to meet new people."

People are just annoying... who needs friends anyway?

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.
