10 Things to Look Forward to in the New Year

1. New school year- Whether you’re a Freshman in college or a Junior, the upcoming year is coming, and it’s something to get excited about. Senioritis comes fast, sometimes as early as sophomore year. Isn't it funny we catch ourselves still asking others, “What do you want to be when you’re grown up?” yet we’re adults in college?

2. Resolutions. They sound basic, but it’s the way you approach it that matters. A New Year’s Resolution doesn’t mean you’re going to be a new you, it means you’re going to leave the bad that happened in the past year in the past year. The new year will be better, and our goals for the upcoming year will be fulfilled.

3. Summer break. If getting yourself through second semester of college is rough, remember there’s a lot to look forward to, summer break definitely being one of them.

4. Falling in love. No one’s promising it’s going to happen, but falling in love can most definitely happen. The best part about falling in love is even if you feel as if you’re not in any position to be doing so, life can get in the way in the most positive way.

5. Learning more about yourself.

6. Spring cleaning. Get rid of your ex’s stuff. Unfollowing the girl or guy who broke your heart isn’t childish. It’s very much necessary. Move on from his favorite jacket, her favorite teddy bear she left at your house, and remember that the people who needed you would’ve kept you in their life and vice-versa.

7. 45th President. Whether you support Donald Trump or not, America is continuing to move forward, and it’s an amazing reminder that we’re so proud to be citizens of a free country.

8. New music to come. I guess this is an every-year thing, so it isn’t new, but do you ever actually think about it? Think now, and get excited.

9. With new, better music, comes concerts and festivals.

10. Recruitment and/or joining an organization. If you aren’t involved in Greek life, there are so many clubs and organizations on and off campus that students can join. It’s a fun time.

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.
