Every New Year's Day, you always see the same people posting the same New Year resolutions about losing weight or getting better grades or getting a new job. And, you can admit it, you'd like to accomplish the same as well. Yet, at the end of every year and look back and think, "Wow, I didn't do any of the things I wanted to."

You promise each year that it's gonna be different, but this year you're gonna make it different. And here are BLANK tips how to keep yourself motivated to accomplish these goals in the new year:


BUY A NEW PLANNER

I mean it is a new year anyways. Start fresh on these blank pages. And make sure it's nice and bright like your new year is going to be.

SET THAT ALARM CLOCK

The early bird does in fact get the worm. Wake up early and go for a run, or just try and get into a routine. The earlier you're up, the more time you realize there is in a day.


KEEP A JOURNAL

It's so hard to keep track of fun and new ideas when you forget about them in a second. Try and write them down. Or record all of the things you did do in the new year, so you have something to look back on.


SET GOALS

But make sure they're realistic. Try and be the best you that you can be. Improve yourself. Nothing can hold you back.


BE KIND

A random act of kindness can make someone's day or week. And it'll make you feel like a better person.

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.
