As the year comes to a close, people usually take this time to reflect on themselves and the choices they've made. New Years is a time to make changes, to improve yourself and your life. While everyone makes New Years Resolutions, and swear they're going to keep them this year, I'll say about 9 out of 10 people actually do.

I'm happy you are making these resolutions to try and better yourself, but come on, we know you're going to give up two weeks into the year.

1. I'm going to join a gym

Yeah right! Who are you fooling? You probably won't even step foot into a gym until half-way through 2017. If by some miracle you do actually go, it'll be for a few weeks so you can say you tried it, post some selfies on Instagram, and then decided it wasn't for you.

2. I'm going to eat healthy/clean/vegan/whatever

Sure you are. Let me know how that week long of eating kale salads are while I'm over here stuffing my face. I admire you for trying to stick this one out, but life sucks without some nice greasy food and you know it.

3. I'm going to cut out people from my life

So once it's January first you're just going to start blocking people? It's hard to suddenly just start eliminating people from your life, and just because its a new year doesn't really give you a decent reason to start. Grow a back bone any other time of the year.

4. I'm so done with (insert s/o here) next year

No, you're not. Be done with them right now, other wise you're going to keep sticking around with them and you two will end up like Ron and Sammi, and we all know how that went.

5. New year, new me.

STOP SAYNG THIS OMG STOP IT!! You want to change and that is awesome but you never become a new you! You just eat less Taco Bell or talk to less people, calm down. This phrase is so over done and annoying. It's impossible to take this seriously anymore.

Stop waiting until New Years to make a change in your life. If you want to get healthier or wherever it is you want, then do it now. Stop putting it off, or bragging about it on social media and then giving up on it. Commit or shhh.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
