1. Save $$$$$

Like Bruno Mars says it, "Spend yo money like money ain't s***!" Yes, yes it is fun to go out on weekends and splurge that paycheck you just got. But this is a new year!!! Make it a goal to save at least $15 dollars a week. That's at least 2 Starbucks drinks, that you can live without. At the end of the month, you'll have $60. Then, when February comes around, save $20 dollars a week. It'll make a difference, trust me.

2. Become healthy

A healthier lifestyle means a healthier you and a longer life. Work out and eat right so you can be spring break ready!!! Stop the one-week diets and the trip to the gym once a week. Make it a lifestyle and it will change everything. You will have healthier skin and hair, a rockin' bod, and a more positive attitude. Which brings me to my 3rd resolution!

3. Stay Positive

It’s very hard to let small things bother you and mess up your day. But take a deep breath and move on. Ask yourself if it will matter in 24 hours, and if it doesn’t… don’t get too torn up about it. This year try to think “glass half full.” It will change your day drastically… TRUST ME!

4. Better grades

Did you have a semi-rough semester this past fall?? Study more!! Be organized with your schedule and assignments. Stay ahead and study harder. I promise when you walk into the classroom to take the test, you will feel so much more prepared. Even if you don’t end up with an A, if you put in a lot of effort for that class, that grade will mean so much more.

5. Stay close to God

It can be hard to stay true and connected with God during college. You get busy with school, friends and at Alabama of course, football. Your week might get super busy and you can’t make it to bible study or church. This year, make time for God. He gave up so much for us, His love gives life.

Happy New Year!!!

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.
