17 Resolutions for 2017
Journalismfund.eu

2016 is FINALLY over! I think we can all agree that it was a pretty rough year across the board. But as Queen Elsa so boldly reminded us, "the past is in the past". Here's to hoping '17 will be the year to make up for the craziness of '16. So as I have done every year since I can remember, I have compiled a list of New Year's resolutions that I would like to share with all of you. Some of them may be a bit far fetched, such as "study every day", but I think the rest of them are quite attainable. Join me friends, and let's make 2017 a year our posterity will be proud to read about in their history books.

1. Exercise every day

Walking from my bedroom to my kitchen counts as exercise, right?

2. Eat healthier

All the chips I eat from now on will be baked (they're healthier that way).

3. Watch more cute puppy videos

Well this one's just a given. Who doesn't love cute puppy videos?

4. Study every day

Like I said before, I don't know about this one. But I will attempt it. Just kidding, this one is just too much.

5. Don't procrastinate on assignments

I might keep this resolution... I'll decide tomorrow.

6. Don't let the existential dread set in

DON'T LET IT SET IN.

7. Share less Inner Kermit memes

*Me*: Stop sharing so many Kermit memes. You're annoying every one.

*Inner Me*: Keep doing it, they secretly relish in them.

8. Try to get over Harambe

It's been a little over seven months now, but I still shudder every time I think about the poor creature. RIP big guy.

9. Spend less time on social media

Nahhhh, Snapchat is too crucial to give up. And Facebook is how I stay connected with the world since all I really do is stay in my room. *cue "Indoors" from Spongebob Squarepants*

10. Read a new book every month

This may be one of the easiest ones to achieve. Or it would be if I didn't have to balance school, work, theatre, a social life, and my much needed Netflix time.

11. Forget that Hillary v Trump actually happened

That drama was just too extra. The world doesn't need that kind of stress and conflict ever again.

12. Singlehandedly save the Great Barrier Reef

It can happen!

13. Start a support group for penguins who've been cheated on

Because every living creature deserves love.

14. Try to overcome your desperate nostalgia for simpler times

What can I say? I'm a millennial. We crave the late '90s/early '00s.

15. Never let your bank account drop below $100

Yeaaaaah, this one might be a stretch too.

16. Try not to skip any classes

Hahahahahahahaha.

17. Finally, achieve world peace

PLEASE CAN THERE JUST BE SOME PEACE FOR ONCE?

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.
