Here we are, a new year with new goals, hopefully. Hopefully, we all have new expectations for what the year will hold and the things that 2017 will bring us. I hope that for most of us it brings happiness, joy and understanding. After all, after a year like 2016, we need that more than anything. Here are five things that I’m definitely looking forward to in the year 2017.


1. Financial Stability

Now, I am definitely going to admit that I would like to have as much money as the person in the picture. I’d be set, right? I would have to worry about my Florida trip in April, the tuition for school or any other thing that plagues me financially. That is why I made a goal for myself in 2017 to not have any negative bank account balances. I have also vowed to myself that I would be saving money. Financial stability is so important, if you haven’t learned that lesson yet, you will very soon. Good luck.

2. The Fosters

I absolutely love "The Fosters", probably because I can identify with it so much. For me, January 31 cannot come fast enough. I am ready to feel like all of this cast is back in my home. These are the people that I have shared some very raw Emotion with, even if only through a TV screen.

3. Finishing My Degree

I can’t wait to walk across the stage to accept my Bachelors Degree in Organizational Management. It will be another stepping stone in my life that I have worked very hard for. I can’t wait to see the smiling faces of all the graduates that I will be graduating with, we will know that we have finally done it, and that is the best reward of all.

4. Traveling

I have two trips planned for the year 2017, I will be more than ecstatic if they both happen smoothly. It has been a while since I’ve gone away and had some fun, so I can’t wait to get on the plane and fly to relaxation.

5. Happiness and Peace

2016 has brought me many lessons learned. In 2017, I can only hope that I take all those lessons, apply them and allow myself the happiness I deserve. So far, so good. I can only hope that it will stay that way.

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.
