1. "I'm going to stop eating unhealthy food."

That sounds like such a great and wonderful idea until you realize that life is way too short for it to be spent eating leaves. On the bright side, though, you get a new set of 52 weeks to tell yourself “I swear I’m going to start on Monday.”

2. "I'm going to get so fit."

The new year. This is your year. You are going to actually do it... not. You got your new workout attire and a gym membership to go with it... gross. You’ve just got to love the beginning of the year when everyone and their mother decides to make a trip to the gym.... ugh. So here is to that solid first month that is going to remind you why you stayed away from that place for the last eleven.

3. "I'm going to stop spending all of my money on stupid things."

This time around you are going to be cost efficient and spend those paychecks on things you actually want. New year, new you. There is no way that this new you would ever spend $30 on a key chain that looks like a puff ball or approximately $2,894,752,938 on your food extravaganzas.

4. “I’m going to go to class every single day and have killer grades.”

Since you have now decided to save your money… that means you probably need to spend all of your time in the library to avoid all places that could tempt you to swipe your debit card. Perfect. That means you will have SO much more time to study!!! Look at you being all studious!! (I’ll give you until the end of syllabus week tops until this one wears off)


5. "I'm going to start being more social."

On the other end of that spectrum, you should probably crawl out of your hermit hole every once and a while, so this time around you aren’t going to spend all your time having Netflix and chill dates with…. well yourself….

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.
