5 Things You Can Actually Stick To Accomplishing This New Year
Maggie Burton

Every year we say we're gonna do, sometimes, crazy things. Some people say they're gonna lose weight, read/write a book, or maybe learn how to do something new. This year, here is a list of 5 goals you can actually stick to for the new year.

1. Stress less and worry less.

Everyone has stress and worries. Let's face that fact. We will never have a worry free or stress free life. It's time to embrace the stress and worry and overcome it. Find something that helps you relax. School and work can be stressful and overwhelming. Who says we have to give into that? There are plenty of ways to destress and relax. Find something that you like doing. Whether it's a relaxing bubble bath or maybe coloring, do something that helps you relax.

2. Be kind to others.

I know there are people you may or may not like the best. Sometimes you have to just put on a smile to make someone's day. This is something you can do all the time. Whether it's smiling at someone who looks sad, helping a friend study for a test, or just saying hi to someone. It will make your day to make someone else happy too.

3. Love more.

Love makes the world go round. At least that's how a saying I know goes. This year make an effort to love others. Love your family more. Love your friends more. Love your neighbor that plays the music too loud. Love others the way you would want to be loved. I promise you, loving and doing things for others will only make your year more rewarding.

4. Be a better version of you.

When it comes to you, you don't have to change your looks. You don't have to get a new hairstyle or change your makeup, just be a better version of you. Perfect the person inside and not worry so much about the outside appearance. Someone out there likes you for you so just be you! BeYOUtiful!

And finally,

5. Have fun!

Life is about learning how to dance to the beat of your own drum, dancing and singing in the rain, and about the moments that take your breath away. Study hard and do well in school but never forget to reward yourself and have fun. Reward yourself with a night out with the girls, have friends over for a movie night, or go bowling. Never forget the little things or people in your life that matter the most.

So there you have it a simple list of things to accomplish this new year. Don't worry about setting those big goals you'll give up after one week. Set simple goals that you know you won't forget!

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.
