New Years resolutions. We may mock them but every single year, here we are again making them. The truth is everyone everyone wants to get fit, eat better, travel more and make more money but those can be hard to achieve and overwhelming to even think about. It's not practical to think that on January 1 you will just start living your life completely differently and making all these new changes. Although that may be great, maybe just implementing little changes will have just as big of an effect. So let's start the New Year smaller with smaller resolutions, because maybe then we will actually accomplish them and make some well needed changes. Here are 10 small New Years Resolutions you should actually keep this New Year!

1. Detox from technology

Social media, the internet, your e-mails, everything. Just find a day and make it a point to stay off your phone, your computer, and so on.

2. Take pictures of happy moments

Who cares how many likes it could get on Instagram. It's all about the moments of true happiness. Those are the kinds of pictures you should be capturing.

3. Journal

Journaling is so therapeutic and it is the perfect way to help you destress and express yourself. Journals are also really entertaining to look back on in the future, you'll be happy you kept one.

4. Do one thing you've never done before

It doesn't have to be anything drastic, trying a new activity, going somewhere new, any kind of new experience. If you do at least one thing unfamiliar or out of your comfort zone then the year was worth it just because of that.

5. Make Plans

Don't just rely on your phone as your main source of communication, actually go out and do things with the people who matter the most to you.

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.
