5 Goals For 2017 Everyone Should Have

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!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
