21 Things You Said You Would Stop Doing
Kurt Nordstrom

I told myself I would stop at 20.


  1. I am going to stop procrastinating on everything.
  2. I am going to stop writing things on my to do list that I have already done so I can cross them off.
  3. I will stop eating the entire bag of Goldfish in one sitting.
  4. This is the last time I will bring more clothes to college.
  5. I really have got to stop forgetting my umbrella.
  6. I need to stop leaving all my homework until the exact time I get tired and hungry.
  7. No more looking at the person who pulls up next to me at a red light. Too much awkward eye contact.
  8. I am going to stop snacking. And eating cookies. And post-cookie snacking.
  9. I will stop trying to make jokes with the people checking me out at the grocery store.
  10. I will stop online shopping during class.
  11. I need to stop looking up people on Facebook and then letting someone else use my phone and see that they are on my search history.
  12. I really have to stop making myself laugh in the middle of class.
  13. I need to stop checking my Facebook and Instagram between every class.
  14. I will stop saying "You, too!" when the waitress says "Enjoy your meal."
  15. I will stop comparing my pictures to pictures of people at Coachella. I will never look as cool as them.
  16. I will no longer take Snapchats in public.
  17. I will stop staying up past 2 a.m.
  18. I will stop clicking "Next Episode" on Netflix.
  19. No more t-shirts. I cannot possibly buy any more t-shirts.
  20. I will stop telling myself that it might come back in style, someday.
  21. Finally, no more smiling at myself in the mirror when no one is looking, because it is just creepy.

For those of you that keep these resolutions, I applaud you. For the rest of us, let's just stop being in denial.

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.
