10 Ways to Bring in the New Year

Buying a gym membership is not always the way to ring in the New Year, but you have other options... here's a few:

1) Going to that party you just weren't sure you wanted to go or not. You could possibly meet your next best friend or future lover!


2) Try something new to eat! New Year, new food! Try something you thought maybe you would hate but actually love, you could possibly hate it, but you did something new!


3) Staying home and enjoying the company of family or pets. If you usually are the party goer, try something new this year, staying home in pajamas and take-in!


4) Tell your crush you like them! That guy from work? That girl from the coffee shop? Get up and do it, for the New Year find your courage!


5) Wearing something out that you usually would never wear, be daring! The feeling of doing something that you usually don't do can be scary at first, but you'll find your confidence to rock it!


6) Do something adventurous! Buy a plane ticket for somewhere and go and explore the world! Why not start today? It's a New Year!


7) Fix burning bridges, sometimes we have to admit we were wrong and fix the bridge because sometimes friends and family are more important than being right.


8) Chasing your dreams, now go do them. Start school again, quit that job that made you sad, get out of the relationship that is going nowhere, go skydiving, get on a plane for the first time, take a Zumba class!


9) Start a DIY project and finish it, feel the first accomplishment for 2017! That feeling is something that cannot be described, it's completely worth gluing your fingers together and spilling glitter everywhere!


10) Do something you used to love when you were a little kid. Fly a kite, play a old video game, play in the snow, ride a skateboard, build a blanket fort!

Bring in the New Year doing something new, maybe even something old. Just do something. Don't waste it being the same person you were yesterday, it's time to live your life! 2016 may have not been so great for you, so make this year a better one! It all starts with a small change!

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.
