Every year I make the same resolution as the year before. I make a conscious effort through January and sometimes February, and when March rolls around I've fallen off the wagon. Most adults choose to get in shape and I'm not any different but the truth is, I like pizza and beer (A LOT) and toning up isn't enough of a priority for me to make time for the gym. I've decided that this year will be different. I'm going to pick a resolution that I will actually want to accomplish. If you're still deciding or haven't even begun to think about it yet, I have compiled a list of new year resolutions for you to pick from that will keep your on your toes all year long.

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.

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.
