That won't be forgotten by the next day

15 New Year's Resolutions For Everyone

As 2015 draws to a close, one thing on a lot of peoples minds are New Year's resolutions. Many of these become forgotten the next day, but this year I am hoping to have at least one, if not more of them, stick so I can be living a life of #goals.

1. Drink more water.

Drinking water is good for everything whether its your skin or just being more hydrated in general, you can't go wrong with drinking water.

2. Be outside more.

There's not much that some time spent in the great outdoors can't cure, so lets try to remember that in 2016.

3. Get more exercise.

I think if anything this is just a resolution that everyone has, so let's just put it on the list.

4. Less phone time.

Being present while you're with people, or spending what would be phone time doing something productive is good for all involved. Instagram can wait.

5. Read more books.

There are so many incredible books out there, and nothing is more satisfying then getting lost in a fictional world where everything is more awesome than in reality.

6. Spend more time with friends.

Your friends are just waiting for you to make incredible memories with them, get out there and do it.

7. Get a job I really enjoy.

Making money and doing something really fun? This is a no-lose situation.

8. Save up more money for the future.

Nothing is going to make you feel better than looking in your bank account and seeing a number in front of those zeros you're accustomed to.

9. Spend more time studying.

GPA from last semester makes this self explanatory.

10. Keep my spaces cleaner.

Organized spaces lead to a more organized mind, it's only benefitting you.

11. Spend more time on myself.

2016 is the year to love yourself. Get a head start on it.

12. Eliminate the things in my life that make me unhappy.

There is no room in this year to be surrounded by people or things that make you unhappy, they gotta go.

13. Declutter.

You don't need to keep every article of clothing or magazine you've ever gotten, clean up and ship it out.

14. Laugh more.

Self explanatory.

15. Be happy.

This is something that's gonna be hard, but when you reach the end you'll be so so happy you found it.

A lot of these goals are general and can be accomplished in many ways, but they are attainable for all of us. There is something that we all can do to help us start living the life of our dreams, and the new year is the perfect time to start that life.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
