10 Things to do on December 31st

It's a New Year, and a New You. So before you start making promises to work out, study more, or be a more "productive member of society", here are 10 things you should do on December 31st for your last hurrah.

10) Sleep in

You've got a long night ahead of you, so treat yourself and sleep in another hour, or maybe 4.

9) Brunch!!!!!

It's not just for rich white suburban housewives, brunch is for everyone. You should also go to brunch hungover tomorrow. Scratch that, just always have brunch.

8) See a movie

Be it "Star Wars", "Joy", "Daddy's Home", or anything else, today is a good day to take in all the Christmas day release flicks. It's also a good to watch Star Wars again.... for the 3rd time...

7) See if you're grades have been posted yet.


Dear God, please just let me pass.

6) Enjoy the beautiful weather!

Walk the dog, talk a drive, or just sit in the park. Global warming has given us some amazingly warm winter days, so enjoy them while knowing how boned the planet is.

5) Watch "The Twilight Zone" marathon.

The Sci Fi channel runs a 48 hours marathon of every episode of Rod Sterling's "The Twilight Zone" from December 31st to January 1st. Get your nerd on with some of the most creative and creepy television to ever grace your eyes in classic black and white. I recommend "The Invaders", "The Lonely", and "To Serve Man" to start with.

4) Make a "to-do" list.

Then do that shit tomorrow.

3) Get ready for the big night!

Put on your best party outfit, assemble the squad, and get ready to ring in the new year. It's time to party like it's 1999 (and everyone thought Y2K was going to end civilization).

2) Realize the bars are too expensive and you're only 20.

Fuck.

1) Watch movies and drink cheap champagne at your friend's house until 3 a.m.

Who needs Times Square when you've got your hometown friends, beer, and the complete Harry Potter saga? I don't, that's for sure.

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.
