5 Goals For 2017 Everyone Should Have
Tal Oren

1) Spend less money, save more money

Goal: Save money for something big and worth it. For example, vacations, concerts, movie nights, road trips, eating out with friends, and other fun activities. If you spend money on little things, such as buying a cup of coffee every morning, you'll realize it adds up and you can't afford the big things you want.

2) Travel more

Goal: see more of the world! "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." Saint Augustine said it best. We have one life to live so make the most of it. Go see the world, experience new cultures, try new food, learn a new language! Our world is so big, why stay in one place?

3) Be healthy

Goal: to live a healthier life. You shouldn't starve yourself or restrict your eating. Instead strive to make your body healthy and strong. Workout to enhance you endurance, make your muscles stronger, and help yourself be more balanced and flexible. Eat healthy foods that are good for your body. But don't forget to let yourself indulge in the good things once in while, that's why they're called treats!

4) Spend more time with people that matter

Goal: strengthen relationships with the important people in your life. Friends that stress you out, make you unhappy, or make you feel bad about yourself are people you don't need in your life. At the end of the day, its not what you are doing but who you are with. So take the time to let them know how important they are to you and work on keeping that positivity in your life.

5) Be happy

Goal: to be happy. Sometimes, we tend to focus on all the negatives in our lives. The things we don't have or the things that go wrong. Instead, focus on what you love about your life. There are a million reasons to be happy! Do what you love. We have one life to live, so enjoy everyday and live life to the fullest!

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.
