5 New Year's Resolutions That I Won't Keep
happynewyear2017.wiki
Happy New Year ya'll! It is that time of year again to make promises to yourself that you know you will never keep!

Every year, I make new year's resolutions that last one week at the most. My new year's resolutions are basically the same every year. The fact that I say that I'll do certain things every year is a clear indication that I never actually stick to my resolutions. I have decided to give up on the idea of new year's resolutions, because they are just too good to be true.

Here are a few things that I say I will do and will absolutely not do:

1. Eat Healthy

This is the absolute hardest thing for me to do. I hate all healthy food. Junk food is my best friend. If it isn't fried and greasy, I don't want anything to do with it.

2. Fix my hair and makeup everyday

I am really bad at doing my hair and makeup. I would rather put some cover up on my pimples, throw my hair up in a ponytail, and call it a day. I have extremely thick hair, so fixing it takes forever.

3. Be a better person

I have an attitude problem, and every year, I say that I'll change. The truth is that people get on my nerves, and that is never going to change. If someone asks me a stupid question, I will always give them a stupid and sarcastic answer.

4. Go to the gym

I don't even have to buy a gym membership, because I have a gym on my college campus. I literally just have to find the motivation to go to the gym. I know that I will never go to the gym though, because I will always have something better to do, like laying in bed and watching Netflix.

5. Don't stress as much

I could not even last a week with this one, because I am the definition of stress. I get stressed out just thinking about trying to not be stressed.

So there ya have it. It is a new year with the same me. I think that I am okay with that though. I like me the way that I am, and you all should too.

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.

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.
