20 New Years Resolutions To Follow
Gretchen Rubin

Every year, people are expected to take something away for a new year's resolution. No more fast food, no more sugar, no more bad influences, etc.

How about instead of taking something away, you add something instead? If you are confused of a resolution to add, here is a list of 20possible New Year resolutions to follow.

1. Drink more water.

You should do this anyway.

2. Sleep more.

Again, you should do this anyway. You don't understand how important sleep is to the body. Start taking care of yourself this year.

3. Read more books.

Expand your mind.

4. Read more news.

It's important to know what is going on in the world.

5. Take more pictures.

Keep your memories!

6. Study More.

Spend more time at the library!

7. Hang out with more acquaintances -making them your friends.

If you want to expand your friend group, be involved in more lives, etc.

8. Learn new beauty techniques.

Take better care of your skin, learn new hairstyles, learn new makeup techniques, whatever you want to expand your beauty routine.

9. Pet more dogs.

Because why not?

10. Eat more ice cream.

Why not!

11. Spend more time outside.

Learn to love the outdoors.

12. Call your grandparents.

You don't know how much time you have with them.

13. Try to travel more.

Expand your horizons, even if your bank account doesn't allow you to. And even if means driving your car to the next town over.

14. Dance more.

Even if it's obnoxiously in the middle of your room alone, or with your roommates. Take advantage of your youthful body!

15. Wash your sheets.

Do yourself a favor.

16. Listen to more happy music.

It'll make you feel happy, which is important!

Don't hold your feelings in, it's healthier to speak it out loud!

18. Eat more veggies.

They're good, I promise.

Because there is nothing better than being yourself!

Let this be the year to love yourself, love those around you, love all your imperfections.

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.

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.
