17 Resolutions to Make in 2017

2016 went by in the blink of an eye and now it's already 2017. How many of you stuck to your New Years resolution last year? If you didn't, it's okay. It's 2017 now, and the New Year calls for a chance to a new start. However, making and sticking to a resolution can be tricky. This year, find a resolution that is important to you and stick to it. Here are seventeen ideas for your New Years resolution this year.

  1. Go for a run at least three times a week.
  2. Pick up a new hobby like scrapbooking or yoga.
  3. Read more books than you did last year.
  4. Learn a new skill that will look great on your resume.
  5. Keep a journal and write in it anything you want to remember.
  6. Start a blog about anything that interests you.
  7. Volunteer at a local animal shelter.
  8. Attempt to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet.
  9. Fix your sleep schedule and get 8 solid hours of sleep a night.
  10. Limit your social media time each day.
  11. Spend more time with better people.
  12. Eliminate those people who bring you down from your life.
  13. Eat breakfast; even just a yogurt is a quick and easy breakfast on those days you're in a rush.
  14. Overcome a fear you've always had whether it be as simple as riding a roller coaster for the first time or as scary as telling that person you love him or her.
  15. Learn to relax more. While work is important, it is equally important to have some time to do what you enjoy. Set aside at least an hour each day to have some "me" time.
  16. Travel somewhere and plan a vacation to a place you've always wanted to visit.
  17. Become more organized. Clean your room, order your documents, make a schedule. Organization is important.

2017 is a new year and a blank page. You choose how to write your year. So what will you write?

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.
