It has so much potential.

2017 Will Be My Year And Here's Why
Irregardless

2016 was great and all, but I'm sure 2017 will be even better. Here's the resolutions I will achieve:

1. Become a healthier me.

It's time to finally feel healthy and get back to where I need to be. Eating better and exercising more to achieve those pesky goals I have had for myself for years now. It's also about becoming more mentally healthy. Sleeping better to improve my attitude during the day. Not thinking about negative thoughts and becoming more positive about life. Setting short term goals to better reach my long term goals to inspire motivation and determination instead of defeat and fears of failure. This is the year I will improve myself in all aspects.

2. Try something new.

Whether it be something big like trying out a new job or something small in regards to maybe trying out a new recipe. Doesn't matter. Just try to get out there and try something out of the box that I don't normally do. Need to become comfortable with the concept of being uncomfortable. With graduation happening for a lot of us, it's time to move forward from school and try something new.

3. Don't dwell on the past.

It's in the past for a reason. It's time to move forward and think about the present and what my future holds for me. Dwelling on the past will never improve anything.

4. Spend more time with family and friends.

As I get older, I start to realize that friendships don't last forever. Some will go away because of lack of communication. It's time to rekindle those relationships. Spend more time with my family instead of wanting to be alone.

5. Become the best version of myself.

I can do great things. I have the capability of doing a lot if I only set my mind into doing it.

There are countless upon countless goals I can set for myself, but these are the big ones for 2017.

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.
