Any person who frequents social media is bound to see the typical "new year, new me" or "this is my year!!!" posts. No matter how cliche or common these are, everyone always sees the new year as a perfect time to better themselves and set resolutions as to how they will act for the upcoming year. However, let's be honest- how many of these actually stay or continue longer than a couple months? Personally, I have had a whopping zero of my new years resolutions actually stick, but this year, I am going to change that. How? By creating (and sharing) 17 realistic and reasonable goals for the new year that anyone can keep.

1.) Go to bed before midnight at least two nights a week.

2.) Stop sub-tweeting that girl from high school.

3.) Understand it's okay to sub-tweet her if she really is asking for it.

4.) Embrace naps for all they are worth

5.) Eat one less fast food meal a week and go to the caf instead

6.) Know you probably won't last very long with number 5 and that it's okay

7) Go to the gym at least once a month (hey you have to start somewhere)

8.) TREAT YO'SELF

9.) Study breaks are an important part of properly obtaining information.

10.) Don't take no for an answer

11.) Love that messy bun

12.) Stop apologizing for being yourself

13.) Netflix is a blessing and use it for all it's worth

14.) STOP FOLLOWING THE KARDASHIANS

15.) Go to class. I promise it's not that bad.

16.) Appreciate puppies and other smalll animals whenever you can

17.) SLAY.

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.
