2017 Resolutions Bucket List

Why make resolutions when you can have a yearly bucket list instead?

2017 Resolutions Bucket List
Happy New Year

With a new year comes new resolutions and goals we set for ourselves. I've learned that, for me personally, making resolutions don't work. I somehow always end up thinking of them in a negative way and that defers me from wanting to actually accomplish them. So I started thinking of them as a year long bucket list. Things I wanted to do/places I wanted to go within the upcoming 365 days. It makes it more fun for me anyways, who doesn't love crossing things off their bucket list.

This year I decided I'd share my 2017 bucket list, that way people who don't like making resolutions have another option they may not have thought about.

Go To More Concerts
Realistically, I go to more shows than most people I know. But in 2017 I want to go to as many amazing shows as I can. I'm already confirmed to see Green Day and Metallica, who knows what other tours will be announced, and I plan on going to as many as possible.

See More Movies
Once I went off to school, I stopped seeing movies in theaters because there just isn't one near me. I used to go once a week in high school and I loved it. Since I want to go into the makeup industry, specifically for film, it feels like research almost. Besides, theater popcorn is amazing.

Exercise More
Now I'm not unhealthy by any means, but I am in college and when I have down time I for sure don't take advantage of it. This year I want to change that. I need to get outside and move around. Probably not running because I have asthma and I might die, but maybe at home yoga and some good walks.

Stop Spending Money On Food
Honestly, spending money on food makes me so angry but when I'm at school I get too lazy to make food for the week so I can take it to school. It's too expensive for me to keep doing that, and there's no reason I can't pack a lunch. I just need to stop being a lazy college kid.

See New Places
I want to travel, I want to see the world and all it's wonders. Unfortunately, college comes with a budget. But I have a few trips in the works right now and I am determined to make them happen so I can see some new places and expand my horizons.

Go To The Beach
Truth be told, I've never been to the ocean. I'm not sure how I went 19 years without ever setting foot into salt water, but I did and 2017 will be the year I swim in the ocean. I will make sure of it!

Read More Books
I'm such a book lover and college takes away all the time I'd have to read. But somehow, this year I am going to read more books and buy more books. I will discover new authors and new series that will inspire my own writing.

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.
